Raah Mein Teri Shab-o-roz Basar Karta Hoon — Khwaja Haidar Ali Aatish
Meaning
I spend my nights and days upon your path. May I remain the same milestone and the same marking-stone that I once was.
Explanation
The poet spends his nights and days waiting on your path, never leaving the road that leads to you. He asks for just one thing: that nothing has changed. May the same milestone still stand, and the same marker stone that was always there. He clings to the familiar signs of the way, hoping they remain untouched by time. It's a picture of deep devotion, of someone who refuses to move on, holding on to every landmark of the beloved's road as if keeping them unchanged might one day bring the beloved back.
