Josh Malih’s population and childhood! –

It is said that once Bismal Saidi said to Josh Sahib that Josh Sahib would have been a greater poet if his words had not lacked elegance.

Josh Malih Abadi said, “No, I’m not lacking enthusiasm here.” Listen to this:

There is a story about my crying.
Age is the best part.

Bismal Zaidi laughed and said. “By Allah, Josh Sahib, I have never heard a better poem about childhood.”
