ROZ EK SHER

यह हादसाते-इश्क़ नहीं है तो और क्या
मंज़िल कहीं है, दिल है कहीं, राहबर कहीं
-मशीर झिंझानवी

Yeh haadasaate-ishq nahiin hai to aur kyaa?
Manzil kahiin hai, dil hai kahiin, raahbar kahiin
--Mashir Jhinjhanavi

Isn't this typical of love?
My destination lies somewhere
My heart is given to someone
And my adviser is somewhere else
