ROZ EK SHER

दे रहा ख़बर पे ख़बर अहबाब का उठना
पर्दा नहीं उठता है पर, रहता है बेख़बर

de rahaa khabar pe khabar ahbaab kaa uthnaa
pardaa nahiin uthtaa hai par rehtaa hai bekhabar

The death of dear ones sends messages
But the cloud of unknowing does not lift and [you] remain ignorant

Sher contributed by Mrs Vijayalaxmi Modi
