shīshe kā aadmī huuñ mirī zindagī hai kyā

patthar haiñ sab ke haath meñ mujh ko kamī hai kyā

ab shahr meñ vo phuul se chehre nahīñ rahe

kaisī lagī hai aag ye bastī huī hai kyā

maiñ jal rahā huuñ aur koī dekhtā nahīñ

āñkheñ haiñ sab ke paas magar bebasī hai kyā

tum dost ho to mujh se zarā dushmanī karo

kuchh talḳhiyāñ na hoñ to bhalā dostī hai kyā

ai gardish-e-talāsh na manzil na rāsta

merā junūñ hai kyā mirī āvārgī hai kyā

ḳhush ho ke har fareb zamāne kā khā liyā

ye dil hī jāntā hai ki dil par banī hai kyā

do bol dil ke haiñ jo har ik dil ko chhū sakeñ

ai 'ashk' varna sher haiñ kyā shā.irī hai kyā

shishe ka aadmi hun meri zindagi hai kya

patthar hain sab ke hath mein mujh ko kami hai kya

ab shahr mein wo phul se chehre nahin rahe

kaisi lagi hai aag ye basti hui hai kya

main jal raha hun aur koi dekhta nahin

aankhen hain sab ke pas magar bebasi hai kya

tum dost ho to mujh se zara dushmani karo

kuchh talKHiyan na hon to bhala dosti hai kya

ai gardish-e-talash na manzil na rasta

mera junun hai kya meri aawargi hai kya

KHush ho ke har fareb zamane ka kha liya

ye dil hi jaanta hai ki dil par bani hai kya

do bol dil ke hain jo har ek dil ko chhu saken

ai 'ashk' warna sher hain kya shairi hai kya

"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.

I was proof.

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
