ROZ EK SHER

तमाम ज़ादे-सफ़र रास्ते में लुट जाता
ख़ुदा ने ख़ैर किया कोई रहनुमा न मिला
-राज़ इलाहाबादी

tamaam zaade-safar raaste mein luT jaataa
khudaa ne khair kiyaa koii rehnumaa na milaa
--Raz Allahabadi

I could have been robbed on life's journey
But God's grace kept me safe from "gurus" and guides
