I endeavour to maintain a clutter free, simple reading environment that takes just a few minutes to read a complete story. This blog is free for all. One way you could 'repay' me if you like the story you have read is to refer others to this blog and the specific story. I would appreciate that kind of word-of-mouth (or its modern equivalent - email, link, Facebook posting) advertising, since it is the best kind. Kindly do to the extent you can without feeling uncomfortable or like a spammer.

Thanks for visiting and hope you enjoy reading!

Lutf-e-Gul ( Enjoyment of a Flower)




Lutf-e-gul uthaane ke liye use todne ki zaroorat kahan...?
.
.
Lutf-e-gul uthaane ke liye use todne ki zaroorat kahan?

gar khud gir jaaye pairon tale
Uthaakar sar par chadaa lo
ya seene se lagaa lo

















English translation:

To get the enjoyment of a flower, where is the need to pluck it?
If it falls by itself at your feet
Pick it up and wear it on your head
or hold it close to your heart.


(The above is the literal meaning, the figurative meaning requires but a little pondering ;-))
