Zindagi ka safar

Dil hi to hai na sang-o-khisht, dard se bhar na aaye kyun; Royenge hum hazaar baar, koi humein sataaye kyun.

Har raat tanha guzarti hai ab, teri yaadon ke siva koi saath nahi; jaagti aankhon mein sapne to hain, par unmein tere siva koi baat nahi.

The night was long, the road unkind — yet here I stand, with dawn in mind. Fall if you must, but rise once more; the sky belongs to those who soar.
