ik aur dariyaa kaa saamnaa tha Munir mujh ko
maiN aik dariyaa kay paar utraa tO maiN nay dekhaa

***

yeh kiya kya zaalim nay dost bhee m`ray
dushmanON ki tarah muskuranay lagay

You will hear every day the maxims of a low prudence. You will hear, that the first duty is to get land and money, place and name. `What is this Truth you seek? what is this Beauty?` men will ask, with derision. If, nevertheless, God have called any of you to explore truth and beauty, be bold, be firm, be true. When you shall say, `As others do, so will I: I renounce, I am sorry for it, my early visions; I must eat the good of the land, and let learning and romantic expectations go, until a more convenient season;` — then dies the man in you; then once more perish the buds of art, and poetry, and science, as they have died already in a thousand thousand men. The hour of that choice is the crisis of your history; and see that you hold yourself fast by the intellect. REST HERE
