mujhe na dekho mire jism kā dhuāñ dekho

jalā hai kaise ye ābād sā makāñ dekho

na chaaT jaa.e kaḌī dhuup surḳhiyāñ lab kī

shajar kī chhāñv kisī ghar kā sā.ebāñ dekho

mohabbatoñ kī tasallī bahut zarūrī hai

sitam ke shahr meñ ik yār-e-mehrbāñ dekho

koī bharosa nahīñ abr ke barasne kā

baḌhegī pyaas kī shiddat na āsmāñ dekho

tumhārā vaqt nahīñ sach ke bolne vaalo

na chup rahoge to kaT jā.egī zabāñ dekho

koī hasīn abhī rāste se guzrā hai

lagāo aañkh se qadmoñ ke jo nishāñ dekho

hunar to roz hī biktā hai chand sikkoñ meñ

ḳharīd le na zamāna tumheñ amaañ dekho

nahīñ hai tum meñ salīqa jo ghar banāne kā

to 'ashk' jaao parindoñ ke āshiyāñ dekho

mujhe na dekho mere jism ka dhuan dekho

jala hai kaise ye aabaad sa makan dekho

na chaT jae kaDi dhup surKHiyan lab ki

shajar ki chhanw kisi ghar ka saeban dekho

mohabbaton ki tasalli bahut zaruri hai

sitam ke shahr mein ek yar-e-mehrban dekho

koi bharosa nahin abr ke barasne ka

baDhegi pyas ki shiddat na aasman dekho

tumhaara waqt nahin sach ke bolne walo

na chup rahoge to kaT jaegi zaban dekho

koi hasin abhi raste se guzra hai

lagao aankh se qadmon ke jo nishan dekho

hunar to roz hi bikta hai chand sikkon mein

KHarid le na zamana tumhein aman dekho

nahin hai tum mein saliqa jo ghar banane ka

to 'ashk' jao parindon ke aashiyan dekho

"Have you ever tried to stop her from doing something she wanted to do?""Haven't had much success at it," Ranger said.Morelli rocked on his heels.

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
