ग़ज़ल कही है कि मोती पिरोए हैं ऐ 'नज़्म' वो कौन शे'र है जो दुर्र-ए-शाहवार नहीं
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

O Nazm, have you composed a ghazal or strung together pearls? Which verse of yours is not like a precious royal gem?

Explanation

In this delightful moment of self-praise, the poet marvels at his own craft, wondering if he has written a ghazal or strung together a necklace of rare pearls. He asks with pride: is there any single verse here that doesn't gleam like a royal gem? It captures that magical, euphoric state of an artist who knows that every single word they penned has turned out flawless and luminous.
