The Motor Car |
How rightly Jogender said this yesterday
“The car of Zulfiqar ‘Ali Khan is so quiet |
Its elegant and graceful pace is not noisy
Fast like lightning, like breeze it is quiet” |
I replied “This is not restricted to car
In the path of life every fleet footed is quiet |
The bell is footless from its habit of lamenting
The caravan of fragrance like zephyr is quiet |
The decanter always walks on embers due to gurgling
But the nature of the gentle-moving wine-cup is quiet |
To the poet’s thoughts the wings for flight are silence
The wealth of the voice’s warmth lies in silence”! |
