Sher on Dil
Reading these verses,
you would pass through various states that the human heart takes us through. You would wonder how these verses written by others are indeed the true voice of our own feelings. They seem to express our own desires and passion, sadness and deprivation, as also our experience of separation in the midst of an elusive hope for union.
dil nā-umīd to nahīñ nākām hī to hai
lambī hai ġham kī shaam magar shaam hī to hai
dil na-umid to nahin nakaam hi to hai
lambi hai gham ki sham magar sham hi to hai
