Chapter 42 - Rasm-E-Ulfat (Part 3)

Last lines from my favourite 'Ghazal', a type of song, 'Rasm-e-ulfat'. Beautiful lines, sung by Lata Mangeshkar and written by Naqsh Lyallpuri. Do check out the song.

—————

'बोझ होता जो ग़मों का तो उठा भी लेते,

ज़िंदगी बोझ बनी हो तो उठाएं कैसे।'

'Bojh hota jo gamo ka to utha bhi lete te,

Zindagi bojh bani ho to uthaye kaise.'

'If the burden was only the pains and sadness, then i could have lifted it,

But if life itself has become a burden, how do I lift it.'

~Naqsh Lyallpuri
