then came ghalib 1797-1869, almost 150 years after wali, turning from the soft splendour of the rising sun to the dazzling brilliance of the midday;
jab woh jamaal-e-dilfroz, soorat-e-mehr-e-neem roz
khud hi ho nazaara-e-soz, parde mein munh chupaye kyun
why should that winsome beauty, like the midday sun ablaze
hide her face behind the veil, when none at her can gaze
jab woh jamaal-e-dilfroz, soorat-e-mehr-e-neem roz
khud hi ho nazaara-e-soz, parde mein munh chupaye kyun
why should that winsome beauty, like the midday sun ablaze
hide her face behind the veil, when none at her can gaze
