"This lithograph showcases Urdu verses by an unknown poet, conveying a deep philosophical message. The lines read: 'Bashar raze dili keh kar zalil-o-khwar hota hai, Nikal jaati hai jab khushbu to gul bekaar hota hai; Mitade apni hasti ko agar kuchh martaba chahe, ke daana khaak mein milkar gulo-gulzar hota hai.'

These verses reflect on the themes of humility, sacrifice, and transformation. They suggest that revealing one's deepest secrets may lead to disgrace, just as a flower loses its worth after shedding its fragrance. The poem further advises that one must surrender their existence to attain greatness, much like a seed that dissolves into the earth to blossom into a flourishing garden."
