mohabbatoñ meñ jo miT miT ke shāhkār huā

vo shaḳhs kitnā zamāne meñ yādgār huā

tirī hī aas meñ guzre haiñ dhuup chhāñv se ham

tirī hī pyaas meñ sahrā bhī ḳhush-gavār huā

na jaane kitnī bahāroñ kī de gayā ḳhushbū

vo ik badan jo hamāre gale kā haar huā

tumhāre baad to har ik qadam hai ban-bās

hamārā shahr ke logoñ meñ kab shumār huā

ḳhud apne aap se lenā thā intiqām mujhe

maiñ apne haath ke patthar se sañgsār huā

ye ek jaan bhī letā hai 'ashk' qistoñ meñ

zarā sā kaam bhī us se na ek baar huā

mohabbaton mein jo miT miT ke shahkar hua

wo shaKHs kitna zamane mein yaadgar hua

teri hi aas mein guzre hain dhup chhanw se hum

teri hi pyas mein sahra bhi KHush-gawar hua

na jaane kitni bahaaron ki de gaya KHushbu

wo ek badan jo hamare gale ka haar hua

tumhaare baad to har ek qadam hai ban-bas

hamara shahr ke logon mein kab shumar hua

KHud apne aap se lena tha intiqam mujhe

main apne hath ke patthar se sangsar hua

ye ek jaan bhi leta hai 'ashk' qiston mein

zara sa kaam bhi us se na ek bar hua

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
