Yaad/Memory

Acrylic on wooden panel, 10” x 10”. A couplet/sher by the #Urdu poet Jigar Muradabadi (which I read on @ranasafvi’s page, many thanks!) that struck me in this quarantine moment.

 

Duniya ke sitam yaad na apni hi wafa yaad/ab mujh ko nahin kuch bhi muhabbat ke siwa yaad

I recall neither the torments of the world nor my own devotion/nowadays I remember nothing whatsoever save love
