@thisworldbetray yup- this is an extremely poignant verse- the imagery of slender branches of narcissus swaying in the spring wind- as if wailing is so powerful and beautiful. I belive it is a marsiya of Mirza Aboul Qasim but don't remember the name.

@AaryanBhagat13 Yess correct, thanks.

9. So, the retribution that came was rather limited, Safdar was the only Muslim who did not get promoted in Sheikh’s administration and remained a Treasury Officer till Bakshi assumed power. As far as Iradat Khan, unfortunately, he was made to leave Kashmir For Muzaffarabad.
