Le Chalo Mujh Ko Rah-ravan-e-adam — Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
O travelers on the path to non-existence (death), take me along with you, for I see no shelter or resting place for myself here in this world.
Explanation
In this deeply poignant verse, the poet calls out to the travelers journeying toward 'adam'—the quiet realm of oblivion or non-existence—begging them to take him along. He feels utterly estranged from this world, finding neither solace, belonging, nor a place to rest his weary soul. It captures an intense existential loneliness, where slipping into the unknown feels far kinder than enduring a world that offers no home.
