Quotes
Poetry
Soul-refreshing are your lips,Breath of Christ are your lips.The god of beauty, with nectar divineHas charged the goblet of your lips.Wisdom, philosophy, deep truths,Inform the utterance of your lips.With ruby-pen the lovers of your lines,Inscribe the message of your lips.The grass, the foliage, and the bloom,Forever crave to kiss your lips.My palate and tongue get honey-drenched,Whensoever I mention your lips.What an treat for Wali'''s tongue,Morn and eve to praise your lips!Masterpieces of Urdu Ghazal from the 17th to the 20th Century, p. 21
