kareñ salām use to koī javāb na de

ilāhī itnā bhī us shaḳhs ko hijāb na de

tamām shahr ke chehroñ ko paḌhne niklā huuñ

ai mere dost mire haath meñ kitāb na de

ġhazal ke naam ko badnām kar diyā us ne

kuchh aur de mire saaqī mujhe sharāb na de

maiñ tujh ko dekh ke tere bharam ko jaan sukūñ

ik aadmī huuñ zarā soch aisī taab na de

vo mil na paa.e agar mujh ko is zamāne meñ

to aisī huur kā duniyā meñ koī ḳhvāb na de

ye mere fan kī talab hai ki dil kī baat kahūñ

vo 'ashk' de ki zamāne ko inqilāb na de

karen salam use to koi jawab na de

ilahi itna bhi us shaKHs ko hijab na de

tamam shahr ke chehron ko paDhne nikla hun

ai mere dost mere hath mein kitab na de

ghazal ke nam ko badnam kar diya us ne

kuchh aur de mere saqi mujhe sharab na de

main tujh ko dekh ke tere bharam ko jaan sukun

ek aadmi hun zara soch aisi tab na de

wo mil na pae agar mujh ko is zamane mein

to aisi hur ka duniya mein koi KHwab na de

ye mere fan ki talab hai ki dil ki baat kahun

wo 'ashk' de ki zamane ko inqilab na de

A nationalist encourages us to be our worst, and then tells us that we are the best. A nationalist, 'although endlessly brooding on power, victory, defeat, revenge,' wrote Orwell, tends to be 'uninterested in what happens in the real world.' Nationalism is relativist, since the only truth is the resentment we feel when we contemplate others. As the novelist Danilo Kiš put it, nationalism 'has no universal values, aesthetic or ethical.' A patriot, by contrast, wants the nation to live up to its ideals, which means asking us to be our best selves. A patriot must be concerned with the real world, which is the only place where his country can be loved and sustained. A patriot has universal values, standards by which he judges his nation, always wishing it well—and wishing that it would do better.”―— Timothy Snyder
