He came to Hindustan and then returned to his own country. He had some poetical genius. The following verses are his:— “I wish that the flame of love may so strike my grief-nurturing body That, while I weep from its burning, water may fall on my ashes.” “I will give rest to my heart by patiently hearing his message, Though this (last) is an impossibility to which I can never attain.” ‘Go, speak not of love’s burning pain till the last trump shall sound, For this world is nothing but a house of mourning.’ - [Previous: 309](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.309) - [Next: 311](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.311) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.310](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.310) · Pramāṇa
