Zauq and his famous couplet defining the journey of life. (Selected Urdu Poetry - 1) |
Sheikh Ibrahim ‘Zauq’ was Mirza Ghalib’s famous rival and contemporary in the Mughal Court of Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar. This is one of his most famous couplets, which defines life and its unexplainable journey in a mesmerizing style.
"Layee Hayaat Aaye Qazaa Le Chali Chale,
Apni Khushi Na Aaye Na Apni Khushi Chale,
Duniya Ne Kiska Raah-e-Fanaa Mein Diya Hai Saath,
Tum Bhi Chale Chalo Yun Hi, Jab Tak Chali Chaley"
Life brought me in this world without any intimation and would also take me from here one day, without any prior notice.
Neither I came here with my own consent nor can I leave this place at my own will.
Who can accompany you till the end of this perishable life of desires?
So, Just keep living my friend, as it comes, with the feeling of ‘LET GO’ till your time ends.
Just keep walking & enjoy the path!
