خانقاہ
English title: MONASTERY
رمز و ايما اس زمانے کے ليے موزوں نہيںاور آتا بھي نہيں مجھ کو سخن سازي کا فن
'قم باذن اللہ' کہہ سکتے تھے جو ، رخصت ہوئے!خانقاہوں ميں مجاور رہ گئے يا گورکن
Talking in signs and symbol is not for this age, and I know not the art of artful sniggers; No more are those who said: ‘Rise, in God’s name!’ The ones alive are sweepers and grave-digger.
