Answer

Shahid Ali was a witty writer and person. Once when he was travelling, a lady security guard at the Barcelona airport stopped him. She asked him what he was doing in Spain. He said that he was writing poetry.
She was puzzled so she bluntly asked him if he was carrying anything that could be dangerous to others passengers. Shahid clapped a hand to his chest and said that the only dangerous thing he was carrying was his heart.
