Poem: Barzakh (Hindrances) - Romanized and Translated

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?
