Word Meaning
हमरहीम
hamrahīm
Meaning
We are fellow travellers or companions on the journey.
Detailed Meaning
A Persian verbal construction combining 'hamrah' (fellow traveller) with the first-person plural copular suffix '-īm' (we are). In the couplet, it describes souls that journey as one in spirit all the way to life itself ('tā-ba-jān'), despite diverging destinations. It highlights shared existential intimacy contrasted with mere outward fellow-travelling.
Etymology
Persian: 'ham' (together) + 'rah' (path/way) + '-īm' (first-person plural enclitic copula, 'we are').
Usage
Common in classical Persian and Sabk-e Hindi verses to convey metaphysical companionship and shared spiritual suffering.
Examples
In the valley of love, we are fellow travellers.
Until the breath departs, we are companions on the road.
