Ghazal
अक़्ल गो आस्ताँ से दूर नहीं
The ghazal asserts that intellect (Aql) is not far from any threshold or place. The poet advises that the heart (dil) should seek blessings from God, as the light of the eye and the light of the heart are interconnected. It reflects on the confluence of knowledge and intoxication (surur), lamenting that in this age, there are no true masters of bliss or joy.

There is an intoxication even in knowledge, but
This is a paradise where there are no celestial nymphs

How amazing it is that in this age,
There is not even a master of ecstasy.

If you are alive, then there is no absence.

You alone are not the arrival of the dawn.
