ROZ EK SHER

इब्तिदा वो थी कि जीने के लिये मरता था
इन्तिहा ये है कि मरने की भी हसरत न रही
-साहिर होशियारपुरी

ibtidaa vo thii ki jiine ke liye martaa thaa
intihaa ye hai ki marne kii bhii hasrat na rahii
-Sahir Hoshiyarpuri

Earlier, I was so ruled by my desires
that I would die to live
Now, I have no desires left
