ROZ EK SHER

न कामयाब हुआ न रह गया महरूम
बड़ा ग़ज़ब है कि मंज़िल से खो गया हूँ मैं

na kaamayaab huaa na rah gayaa mahruum
badaa ghazab hai ki manzil se kho gayaa huun main

I neither succeeded nor was deprived
Vexingly, I have lost my destination

Sher contributed by Vijayalaxmi Modi
English translation by Manish Modi
