just calling it dust
there is no disrespect wherever one goes
This is what they are calling rule (Sultan Anjum)
I replied to your point.
I gave the rose that was kept in the book (Shams Tabrezi)

You have a dot here, I have a dot here.
Hindi is as sweet as Urdu is (Naveen Gupta)

Come life, please tell me this much in the secret.
What slips from my hands like sand (Vijay Akhtar)
For the sake of woman's respect, when should candles be lit?
We were the ones who once burnt Lanka (J.P. Singh)
