Sher on Past

zindagī yuuñ bhī guzar jaatī

kyuuñ tirā rāhguzar yaad aayā

Life would in any case pass by and by

Your street I now recall, tell me why

Life would have eventually passed by in one way or another.

Why then did the memory of your path return to my mind?

The poet expresses a sense of resignation, stating that life would have concluded regardless of whether he remembered his beloved or not. The sudden recollection of the beloved's path serves only to disrupt the mundane flow of existence, bringing back pain and longing without changing the inevitable outcome of time passing.

zindagi yun bhi guzar hi jati

kyun tera rahguzar yaad aaya

Life would in any case pass by and by

Your street I now recall, tell me why

Life would have eventually passed by in one way or another.

Why then did the memory of your path return to my mind?

The poet expresses a sense of resignation, stating that life would have concluded regardless of whether he remembered his beloved or not. The sudden recollection of the beloved's path serves only to disrupt the mundane flow of existence, bringing back pain and longing without changing the inevitable outcome of time passing.

Mirza Ghalib

mujh ko ab kaise sakegā koī

vaqt thā aur guzar gayā huuñ maiñ

mujh ko ab kaise pa sakega koi

waqt tha aur guzar gaya hun main
