620- The Poetic Notebook of Mullazade Zaigham of Laulab
621- Your springs and lakes with water pulsating and quivering like quicksilver
622- Harder than death is what thou call’st slavery,
623- Downtrodden and penniless is Kashmir now;
624- When the enslaved people’s rage boils and they rise in revolt against the master,
625- The partridge flies with the majesty of the falcons;
626- The dissolute know the Sufi’s accomplishments
627- Come out of the monastery and play the role of Shabbir
628- Thou think’st it a mere drop of blood; well
629- When flowers’ bookshop opened in the garden
630- The freeman’s veins are firm as veins of granite
631- All of the self dwell ignorant, whether by Light touched or purblind
632- Nations in whom life marches to action
633- It is the sign of living nations
634- How heretically do you play the game of life?
635- The ways of the West are calculating, the ways of the East are monkish;
636- O land of charming and sweet flowers what need is there to explain:
637- Self-awareness has made the mujahid forget his body,
638- Nourish that lofty will and burning heart,
639- I walk lonely the earth; hear my lament,
640- To Sir Akbar Hyderi the Chief Minister Of Hyderabad Deccan
641- Husain Ahmad
642- The Human Being
