THE MOTOR CAR
How rightly Jogender said this yesterday
“The car of Zulfiqar ‘Ali Khan is so quiet
Its elegant and graceful pace is not noisy
Fast like lightning, like breeze it is quiet”
I replied “This is not restricted to car
In the path of life every fleet footed is quiet
The bell is footless from its habit of lamenting
The caravan of fragrance like zephyr is quiet
The decanter always walks on embers due to gurgling
But the nature of the gentle‐moving wine‐cup is quiet
To the poet’s thoughts the wings for flight are silence
The wealth of the voice’s warmth lies in silence”!
