Sher on Duniya

We all have developed

our own perspectives on the world we live in. In this act of belonging to this world, there is much that is entirely our own. Yet, there is much that has been left behind. Reading these verses on the world, you would come across certain realities that only the creative minds can explore. These verses create a larger context for you to look at this phenomenon called the world.

duniyā meñ huuñ duniyā talabgār nahīñ huuñ

bāzār se guzrā huuñ ḳharīdār nahīñ huuñ

I live in this world tho for life I do not vie

I pass through the market but I do not wish to buy
