ROZ EK SHER

भगवान तो बस चौदह बरस घर से रहे दूर
अपने लिये बनबास की मीआद बहुत थी
-ज़फ़र गोरखपुरी

bhagavaan to bas chaudah baras ghar se rahe duur
apne liye banbaas ki miyaad bahut thii
-Zafar Gorakhpuri

The Lord only had to stay away from home for fourteen years
My period in the wilderness is far longer

[This sher refers to Lord Rama, who was asked to stay away from home for 14 years, in order to allow his younger brother to rule in his
place.]
