nairangi-e-siyaasat-e-dauraan
to dekhiye
manzil unhein mili
jo shareek-e-safar na thay
observe the irony of
the politics of this era
those who did not even travel
have reached the destination

saara hi shehr uske
janaaze main tha shareek
tanhaiyan ke khoaf se
jo shakhs mar gaya
the entire city joined
in the funeral procession
of the one who died
afraid of loneliness
Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)
raste mein mil gaya to
shareek-e-safar na jaan
jo chhanv mehrban ho
use apna ghar na jaan
whoever you find along the way
mistake them not as friends of life
that free shade you find
mistake it not as your home
