sherKuch Alfaaz

yak-qalam kaghaz-e-atish-zada hai safha-e-dasht naqsh-e-pa mein hai tab-e-garmi-e-raftar hunuz ghalib turns the desert into a “page” and the traveler’s motion into a fire that singes it. the burnt expanse suggests a life or world ravaged by intense passion and hardship. yet the second line says the warmth has not died: the traces still hold heat, meaning the impact of that fervor persists even after the passage. the couplet captures desolation with a lingering, restless energy.
