Sadqaa utaariye ke lage, naa kahee.n nazar,

chehre se apne, aaj toh, pardaa, uThaaeeye,

RAISE THE VEIL FROM THY FACE TODAY.


NASIR

There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.
- Homer.
