Manzil-e-shauq Tai Nahin Hoti — Dagh Dehlvi

मंज़िल-ए-शौक़ तय नहीं होती ठेकियाँ ना-तवान लेते हैं
— Dagh Dehlvi

Meaning

The journey toward the destination of passion is never fully traversed; the frail and exhausted travelers constantly pause to lean on supports.

Explanation

The path of yearning and love is an infinite road, one so boundless that its final destination is never truly reached. The poet paints a touching image of frail, exhausted travelers who cannot keep pace with their heart's desires and must halt, leaning on supports just to catch their breath. It gently exposes the human condition: our passions are boundless, yet our fragile bodies and spirits constantly struggle beneath the weight of that longing.
