ماہر نفسيات سے
English title: TO THE PSYCHOLOGIST
جرات ہے تو افکار کي دنيا سے گزر جاہيں بحر خودي ميں ابھي پوشيدہ جزيرے
کھلتے نہيں اس قلزم خاموش کے اسرارجب تک تو اسے ضرب کليمي سے نہ چيرے
Transcend the intellect if you have courage to do so: there are islands hidden in the ocean of the self as yet. The secrets of this silent sea, however, do not yield until you cut it with the blow of the Moses’ rod.
