है सुख़न जग मनीं अदीम-उल-मिसाल
जुज़ सुख़न नीं दुजा जवाब-ए-सुख़न
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning
In this world, speech (or poetry) is peerless, and except for speech itself, there is no other match or answer to speech.
Explanation
This couplet is a heartfelt tribute to the sheer magic of the spoken and written word. The poet reflects that in the entire universe, the art of speech and verse has no equal—it stands utterly peerless. If anything at all can match, rival, or respond to the beauty of speech, it is only speech itself. It reminds us that poetry is its own world, complete and supreme in its emotional depth.
