نا-امید بھی امیدوں سے اُبھَر جاتا ہے،
بے-قدر بھی قدر دان بن جاتا ہے۔
بس تیری پیار بھری نظر ہو اُن پر،
انسان تو کیا — شیطان بھی فرشتہ بن جاتا ہے۔

ملے جو “در-علی” کی دھول ماتھے کو،
تو بے-نصیب کا بھی نصیب سنور جاتا ہے۔
زبان پر جو ہو “یا علی” کا پاک نام،
تو ڈوبتا ہوا صفینہ (ناؤ) بھی کنارے لگ جاتا ہے ...

Do you believe Ginans are bhajans?

Good question! To be honest with you, I have studied both deeply, and many Hindu scholars believe that ginans are taken from bhajans, with some words changed and Islamic names inserted.

I found one ginan written by Pir Shams about Sati Emna Bai—the same ginan I ...

If we’re setting aside the Bhagavad Gita because there’s no naklank word found in it; then what about the Ismaili ginans, granths and the other three Purāṇas I mentioned earlier? Are those also being considered illegitimate, or as now providing solid evidence for the term Naklanki?

• Bhāgavata Purāṇa

They use terms like “Niṣkalanka,” meaning:

It is true that the word Nakalanki does not appear in the Gita, but different ...
