ऐ ख़िज़्र पय-ए-ख़जिस्ता बहर-ए-ख़ुदा करम कर भटके हुए मुसाफ़िर मंज़िल को ढूँडते हैं
— Nazm Tabatabai
Meaning

O Khizr of blessed footsteps, for God's sake show mercy, for the lost travelers are searching for their destination.

Explanation

In Urdu literary tradition, Hazrat Khizr is the immortal, benevolent guide who miraculously appears to rescue those stranded in the wilderness. Here, the poet calls upon Khizr on behalf of all lost souls, pleading for guidance with deep reverence and humility. On a deeper level, it reflects the universal human condition—feeling spiritually adrift in the maze of life and longing for someone or something wise to lead us home.
