1. The Verse of Naziri
I would not exchange for half a dozen systems of philosophy this one verse of Naziri:
نیست در خشک و تر بیشہ من کوتاہی
چوب ہر نخل کہ ممبر نشود دار کنم
* The Persian couplet could be translated as: “Nothing falls short in my wasteland; every wood that could not be my pulpit I turned it into the gallows” – KAS.
