TRAMPLING THE STORM, THE SHIP FINDS THE SHORE,


yeh maana, dil jise Dhoo.nDhe badee, mushkil se miltaa hai
AGREED THAT THE ONE WHOM THE HEART SEEKS IS FOUND WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY,


magar jo, Thokare.n khaaye wohee, manzil se miltaa hai.
BUT ONLY THE ONE WHO KEEPS STUMBLING REACHES THE GOAL.


NASIR.
