Ghazal
मकतबों में कहीं रानाई-ए-अफ़कार भी है
This ghazal suggests that places of learning (maktabas) hold not only the grandeur of knowledge but also a mysterious, spiritual pleasure. While the destination on life's path (rah-e-riwa) may be distant and difficult, the poem assures that there are guides and companions in this journey. Furthermore, it speaks of the struggle for religion and nation, highlighting the presence of brave souls, and the ultimate joy of divine sight and transcendental bliss for the believer.
