Duniya Ke Ae Musafir
Duniya Ke Ae Musafir
By Junaid Jamshed
Oh travellers of this world,
Your destination is the grave
This journey for which you are preparing,
Will last for only two days
Since the creation of this world,
Thousands and millions have arrived
No one is left,
They've been engulfed in soil
Do not forget this,
This will be everyone's final abode
Oh travellers of this world,
Your destination is the grave
With your own eyes,
How many burials have you witnessed?
With your own hands,
How many of the dead have you buried?
Of your own consequences,
Why are you so unaware?
Oh travellers of this world,
Your destination is the grave
Those who slept on velvet,
On soil they are sleeping
Kings and beggars alike,
Together they are sleeping
Both are the equal,
This is the effect of death
Oh travellers of this world,
Your destination is the grave
These great mansions you have,
They are of no use
These tall and lofty buildings (that you have built),
They are of no use
Only two metres of this vast earth,
Will be your small home
Oh travellers of this world,
Your destination is the grave
Effigy of soil, to you,
On soil, it is to immerse
One day you have arrived,
Another it is, you have to leave
You are not to stay in this world,
Your destination is to leave
Oh travellers of this world,
Your destination is the grave
This journey for which you are preparing,
Will last for only two days
Oh travellers of this world,
Your destination is the grave
