خضرِ منزل اپنا ہوں اپنی راہ چلتا ہوں

میرے حال پر دنیا کیا سمجھ کے ہنستی ہے

खिज़्र-ए-मंज़िल अपना हूं अपनी राह चलता हूं

मेरे हाल पर दुनिया क्या समझ के हंसती है

Roman

Khizr-e-Manzil Apna Hoon Apni Raah Chalta Hoon

Mere Haal Par Duniya Kya Samajh Ke Hansti Hai

My Attempt at English Translation

I’m my own guide for the destination

Why does the world laugh at me

Why I Like It
