Dohe on Zindagi
Life is simply indefinable;
it presents itself in many more ways than human beings can comprehend. Similarly, the representations of life in poetry are as varied as are our perceptions with regard to life. This small selection of verses on life is only a few of those approaches to human existence which distinguish life for all its splendor and beauty.
ham jag meñ kaise rahe zarā dījiye dhyān
raat guzārī jis tarah dushman-ghar mehmān
hum jag mein kaise rahe zara dijiye dhyan
raat guzari jis tarah dushman-ghar mehman
maiñ bhī tū bhī yātrī chaltī ruktī rail
apne apne gaañv tak sab kā sab se mel
main bhi tu bhi yatri chalti rukti rail
apne apne ganw tak sab ka sab se mel
