sadequain

a newly married couple visiting Sadequain presented him his odd sized (8x5”) jute bound copy of Rubaiyyat e Sadequain for an autograph…he made small talk…asked where were they visiting from and saw a young couple in love …oblivious of most things around them…he smiled and wrote this rubaii in their book:

qal'laash hooN yeh khabar suna dooN aye shOkh
naq'qaash hoon yeh tuj'h ko bata dooN aye shOkh
rangON hee say moo' qalam say gardan pay t’ri
MaiN kyuN na gulu'bund bana dooN aye shOkh!
