Sher on Kitab

It appears rather unlikely

and also un-poetic that poets should make books the subject of their poetry. Books have been compared with the face of the beloved but also treated as a metaphor of light that illuminates our lives. More than anything physical, it has also appeared as a symbol. Enter into this amazing world of books and discovers what it intends to offer.

dhuup meñ niklo ghaTāoñ meñ nahā kar dekho

zindagī kyā hai kitāboñ ko haTā kar dekho

dhup mein niklo ghaTaon mein naha kar dekho

zindagi kya hai kitabon ko haTa kar dekho
