Ye Umr-e-ishq Yunhi Kya Ganva.i Jaati Hai — Jigar Moradabadi
ये उम्र-ए-इश्क़ यूँही क्या गँवाई जाती है
हयात ज़िंदा हक़ीक़त बनाई जाती है
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
Should this lifetime of love be squandered away so aimlessly? Rather, life is something to be forged into a living reality.
Explanation
The poet gently shakes us awake, asking if a lifetime blessed with love is really meant to be squandered in passive sighs and idle longing. True love is not about merely drifting through dreams, but an active, creative force that sculpts life into a vibrant, purposeful truth. It invites us to transform our passion into action and turn existence into something profoundly lived.
