ROZ EK SHER

[Manish Modi]

लोग अक्सर कहते हैं कि ज़िन्दा रहे तो फिर मिलेंगे 

मगर सच तो यह है कि मिलते रहे तो ज़िन्दा रहेंगे
~ अनजान

لوگ اکثر کہتے ہیں کہ زندہ رہے تو پھر ملینگے 

مگر سچ تو یہ ہے کہ ملتے رہے تو زندہ رہینگے  

~ انجان 

log aksar kahte hain ki zindaa rahe to phir milenge

magar sach to ye hai ki milte rahe to zindaa rahenge
~ Anonymous

People often promise to meet again if they remain alive
But in reality, I will only remain alive if we continue to meet

Reflection
It is people who give us happiness and sorrow. Material possessions render a level of satisfaction. But our greatest joy comes from meeting the ones we love. They keep us alive.
