Maulana, inka ek aur sawal hai. Unhone likha hai ke aaj ke session mein maloom hua ke aap shayar bhi rahe hain. kya is daur ka apna koi sher arz kar sakte hain? Maine yeh to nahi kaha ke main shayar tha. Shayari karta tha yeh kaam mein. shayar hona ek profession hai. Lekin jo sher o shayari is zamane mein, hamari naujawani ke zamane mein aam tha, har aadmi sher o shayari karta tha. to woh is mein bhi kuch karta tha. Baqi main mushaire mein sher padhna, yeh usko kaam mein ne nahi kiya kabhi.

Maulana, agla sawal Ludhiana se kiya hai Fahad Khan ne aur unhone likha hai ke To develop art of thinking, one must discover one's weakness.
