Poem: Barzakh (with translations)

Kahin tum dikhtey nahin ho,

apni barzakh mein bastey ho.

(You're nowhere to be seen,

Your hindrances shelter you.)

//(You're never truly seen,

The life you live is divided.)

Kahin tum tiktey nahin ho,

apney ghum mein ghultey ho.

(You're nowhere to be found,

Your grief consumes you.)

//(You're never truly found,

You dwell in your grievances.)

Yeh jeena hai ya marna,

barzakh hai ya jahan?

(Is this life or death,

a barrier or your world?)
