iFaqeer

AvatarTaking the guise of the poor, the dervishes, we, O Ghalib,
Watch the spectacle of the blessed; of power and pelf
—Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib

بنا کر فقیروں کا ہم بھیس غالِب
تماشأے اہلِ کرم دیکھتے ہیں

banaa kar faqeeroN ka hum bhais Ghalib
thamaasha-e-ehl-e-karam dhaikthay haiN

Revolutions only bring down walls; building anew comes afterwards

Or, as I was saying in one conversation: Revolutions by definition only open the door to new possibilities; what follows is shaped by those who seize the moment. Russia, Iran, China...they all have taught us that.
