Interpretation

Shaayar Jafri seems to redefine wealth, suggesting certain treasures defy arithmetic, flourishing precisely when touched, shared, or fearlessly drawn upon.


The khazaana evokes knowledge, compassion, or faith, resources expanding through circulation, shrinking only when hoarded behind caution or false reverence.


The sher urges participation over possession, arguing abundance favors motion, trust, and giving, where loss is illusion and generosity compounds.
