COMMENTS:

Even the Wind changed its course and the destination because easy to reach and a hundred candles were lit up as we held our hand each to each

Mujhe Sahal ho Gayi Manzilien Woh Hawa Ke Rukh Bhi Badal Gaye
Tera Haath Haath Mein aa Gaya Ki Chirag Raah Mein Jal Gaye.
--- ‘MAJROOH’ SULTANPURI
