The Motor Car

How rightly Jogender said this yesterday “The car of Zulfiqar ‘Ali Khan is so quiet

Its elegant and graceful pace is not noisy Fast like lightning, like breeze it is quiet”

I replied “This is not restricted to car In the path of life every fleet footed is quiet

The bell is footless from its habit of lamenting The caravan of fragrance like zephyr is quiet

The decanter always walks on embers due to gurgling But the nature of the gentle-moving wine-cup is quiet

To the poet’s thoughts the wings for flight are silence The wealth of the voice’s warmth lies in silence”!
