हम यूँ भटक रहे हैं यहाँ-वहाँ,जैसे वतन से हिजरत कर ली हो।
— Amrut Ghayal
Meaning

We are wandering here and there, as if we have migrated from our homeland.

Explanation

This couplet beautifully captures the feeling of being utterly lost and disconnected, like a wanderer without a home. It's as if you've been uprooted from your very own homeland, even if you haven't physically moved. You might be physically present, but emotionally, you feel like an immigrant in your own life or surroundings. There's a deep sense of displacement and a constant search for a place where you truly belong, a place that feels like 'home' again. It speaks to that profound longing for belonging and the feeling of alienation when you're adrift.
