I want to share one of my favourite poems with you…
Sitaron se aagay jahan aur bhi hain
Abhi ishq ke imtehan aur bhi hain
Tahi zindagi se nahin yeh fizaein
Yahan sankron karevan aur bhi hain
Kana’at na kar aalim-e-rang o bu par
Chaman aur bhi, aashiyan aur bhi hain
Tu shaheen hai parvaz hai kaam tera
Tarey saamne aasman aur bhi hain
Issi roz o shab mein ulajh kar na reh ja
Key teray zaman o makan aur bhi hain
- ALLAMA IQBAL
If only we could all remeber what our purpose in life is, life would be so much more beautiful! Our destination is beyond the razzle dazzle of this world and that is eternal. Travellers, not wanderers…
