Aadmi

har aadmi mein hote hain das bis aadmi jis ko bhi dekhna ho kai bar dekhna

mohabbaton mein dikhawe ki dosti na mila

mohabbaton men dikhave ki dosti na mila agar gale nahin milta to haath bhi na mila gharon pe naam the namon ke saath ohde the bahut talash kiya koi aadmi na mila tamam rishton ko main ghar pe chhod aaya tha phir us ke baa'd mujhe koi ajnabi na mila khuda ki itni badi kaenat men main ne bas ek shakhs ko manga mujhe vahi na mila bahut ajiib hai ye qurbaton ki duuri bhi vo mere saath raha aur mujhe kabhi na mila mohabbaton mein dikhawe ki dosti na mila agar gale nahin milta to hath bhi na mila gharon pe nam the namon ke sath ohde the bahut talash kiya koi aadmi na mila tamam rishton ko main ghar pe chhod aaya tha phir us ke ba'd mujhe koi ajnabi na mila khuda ki itni badi kaenat mein main ne bas ek shakhs ko manga mujhe wahi na mila bahut ajib hai ye qurbaton ki duri bhi wo mere sath raha aur mujhe kabhi na mila

'zafar' aadmi us ko na jaaniyega wo ho kaisa hi sahab-e-fahm-o-zaka jise aish mein yaad-e-khuda na rahi jise taish mein khauf-e-khuda na raha the couplet defines “human” not by intellect but by moral and spiritual awareness. comfort is a test of gratitude: remembering god in ease shows humility. rage is a test of restraint: fearing god in anger keeps one from ظلم and excess. without these, wisdom becomes hollow and character collapses.
