Hello,

In Agha Shahid Ali's I Dream I am the only passenger on flight 423 to Srinagar he includes several lines which appear to be quotes:

In your eyes I look for my wounds' deep sea

My Silk is stained how will I face my Lord

My body Blazed

On its pyre the Phoenix is dear to destiny

The poem features Begum Akhtar and I was wondering if any of these were translations from her ghazals or any she may have sung.

Many thanks,

Jonathan
