Within The Cluster of Rills Was Lost

Sheikh Noor-ud-din Wali 1377 (Qaimoh) – 1438 (Rupwan, Charari Sharief)



Within the cluster of rills was lost,
A sparkling spring;
A saint was lost amongst
A gang of thieves;
Amidst a family of duds was lost,
A learned Pandit Guru;
A gorgeous swan was lost,
Amidst a flock of crows !
