Na Jaao Band Kiye Aankh Rah-ravan-e-adam — Dagh Dehlvi

न जाओ बंद किए आँख रह-रवान-ए-अदम इधर उधर भी ख़बर-दार देखते जाओ
— Dagh Dehlvi

Meaning

O travelers heading toward non-existence (death), do not journey with your eyes closed; remain alert and keep observing around you as you go.

Explanation

The poet gently calls out to all of us journeying toward non-existence, reminding us not to rush blindly toward the grave. Even though life is a fleeting transition, its pathway is filled with beauty, sorrow, and wonders meant to be truly seen and felt. It is a tender plea to stay mindful, look around with wide-eyed awareness, and cherish the world before our final departure.
