Raftagan Mein Jahan Ke Ham Bhi Hain — Mir Taqi Mir
Meaning
Literally, the couplet states that we are present in the procession of travelers, and we are also a part of that caravan.
Explanation
This beautiful couplet speaks to the universal feeling of being part of a grand, ongoing journey. The 'Raftagan' (departing crowd) and the 'Caravan' represent the flow of life itself—the continuous movement of time and fate. The poet is not boasting, but simply stating a profound truth: we, too, are travelers, swept along by the current of existence, accepting our place in the great human procession.
