Hum Rahrwan-e-rah-e-fanaa Hain Birang-e-umr — Mir Taqi Mir

हम रहरवान-ए-राह-ए-फ़ना हैं बिरंग-ए-उम्र जावेंगे ऐसे खोज भी पाया न जाएगा
— Mir Taqi Mir

Meaning

We are wanderers on the path of annihilation, colored with the hue of life. We will depart in such a way that even searching will not find us.

Explanation

Mir Taqi Mir describes the essence of the wandering soul. 'Raharwan-e-raah-e-fana' suggests a traveler on the path of existence itself—a journey full of contradictions and colors. The second line is profound: we will walk in such a manner that even if someone tries to find us, they will never truly grasp us. It's a beautiful statement on the elusiveness and complexity of the human spirit.
