O God, from where does such burning passion enter poetry? This is something that can melt even stone.
The poet wonders in quiet awe about the divine spark or inner ache—the soz—that transforms ordinary words into something deeply moving. It is not mere technical skill, but a sacred fire born of genuine feeling, so intense that it can soften and melt even a stone-cold heart. The sher reminds us that true poetry is an alchemy of the soul, turning deep personal pain into a warmth that touches anyone who listens.
