I have composed a few lines on design in Urdu, drawing inspiration from the Urdu poem "Baat Niklegi Toh Phir Door Talak Jayegi" written by Kafil Azhar Amrohi & later Jagjit Singh made it part of his famous and path-breaking album “The Unforgettable.

Here is the translation of Urdu poem: If Design stems from the depths of the heart, then it spreads far and wide. People will unnecessarily question your design philosophy They may even ask, Why are you so simple? Fingers will be pointed at your design background They’ll cast a look at your messy portfolio Critics are very cruel, they will taunt for everything In between talks, they will bring reference of Steve Jobs as well But don't let their words affect you at all, otherwise, they'll twist you on odd topic of sustainability. The ultimate judgment on design will be determined by the user's heart If Design stems from the depths of the heart, then it spreads far and wide. Thanks
