Jis Qadar Afsana-e-hasti Ko Dohrata Huun Main — Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
The more I repeat the story of life, the more estranged and alienated I become from existence itself.
Explanation
There is a poignant paradox here: the more we analyze, retell, and try to make sense of our lives, the more distant and unreal life actually feels. By turning our lived existence into a mere 'tale' or narrative, we unintentionally detach ourselves from it, watching from the outside like an onlooker rather than living it. It captures that quiet existential alienation where deep overthinking does not bring clarity, but leaves us feeling like complete strangers to our own world.
