mubarakbaad. ek khubsurat,aur khubseerat rasala ke ijra ke liye.
dukh is baat ka hai, ki main shaamil nhi hun.aap ne zara bhi likha hota, to main bhi is haseen humare ka ek hissa hota
MOSHARRAF ALAM ZAUQUI
Main Akela hee chala tha, Jaanib-e-Manzil Magar
Humsafar miltey gaye, Aur Kaarvaan banta gaya
All alone I took the vagrant path towards my destined goal,
But people kept joining me, and it became a caravan.
-- Majrooh Sultanpuri
Good luck, Urdu Adab.
~~ Manzoor Khan
Manzoor, shouldn't that be:
I started towards the destination alone
But fellow seekers (of that end) appeared, and soon a caravan formed.
Not a big difference; but the concept of the "vagrant path" really isn't in the first misra. And the concept of finding other people who are seeking the same aim or destination just like you (and not people who are joining "you", so to speak) seems important, too.
