let us turn to what nazki wrote.we can pick up one fourliner every week and invite comments, discussion and responses in sketches and paintings on the lines.we begin with the 1st quartrain in namrud nama;
gaman manz geer osus yad pyoham
phekyav pethe bor zan trowum kodum wash
chatith zan drayi obras narewuzmal
kuthis zan chav bar chirnyav aender gash.
translation;
When oppressive darkness engulfs me,
when burdens of being weigh me down,
your name suddenly sets me free,
your name brightens up the sky.
Mir Ghulam Rasool Nazki..
