Bilingual (Urdu & Gujarati) Poet

—دی لنگولیگژیکون ایک ایسا درخت ہے ، جس پر مختلف زبانوں کے پھول مہکتے ہیں ۔ یہ زبانیں ، بولیاں ہمارا ورثہ ہیں ۔ اتنے کم سمے میں مختلف زبانوں کے سمکالین (جدید) ادب سے قاری کے دلوں کوروشن کیا ہے۔ دی لنگولیگژیکون اب ایک وسیع درخت بن گیا ہے۔ جس کی جڑیں پورے گلوب پر چھاگئی ہیں۔ اس کی چھاؤں میں بیٹھنا ، سستانا اچھا لگتا ہے۔
