Aj akhaan Waris Shah noon
Kiton qabran wichon bol,
Te ajj kitab-e-ishq da koi
Agla varka pholI call out to Waris Shah today
To speak out from his grave
And turn today the next leaf
Of the book of love. pic.twitter.com/zlsh8hwe2s— Nazia Memon (@NaziaMemon01) August 27, 2019

Amrita Pritam Quotes
Peace is not just the absence of violence,peace is when the flowers bloom.
Come! let us take a moment’s shelter under some roof
Look! there – before you, a little way off
There is an empty space
Between truth and falsehood.
Where the dance of Meera and the silence of Buddha meet, blossoms the true philosophy of Rajneesh.
The burning embers within me burst into flame / My body becomes a fire-lit torch. / Ho someone! Send for the mid-wife.
