News at Eleven: On the institution of mother, Fauzia [Mughal]

has written many pieces of poetry in ghazal format. She writes, "Yeh maa hi nahin Fauzia ik dhaal hai meri/Har ik khata ho jaye ga dushman ka fasaana" (My mother is not just the one who gave me birth/But my shield against the attacks of the enemy). She felt that she had lost everything in the world when she bade farewell to her mother on her death. She wrote, "Aei pyari maa, mein aaaj tujhey kar k yun rukhsat/Mehsoos kar rahi hon meri chin gae janat' (My darling mother, after bidding farewell to you like this/I feel as if I have lost my heaven).
