  sitaaro.n se aage jahaa.N aur bhii hai.n
abhii ishq ke imtihaa.N aur bhii hai.n


taahii zindagii se nahii.n ye fazaaye.n
yahaa.N saika.Do.n kaaravaa.N aur bhii hai.n


kanaa'at na kar aalam-e-rang-o-bu par
chaman aur bhii, aashiyaa.N aur bhii hai.n


agar kho gayaa ek nasheman to kyaa Gam
maqaamaat-e-aah-o-fugaa.N aur bhii hai.n


tuu shahii.n hai parwaaz hai kaam teraa

isii roz-o-shab me.n ulajh kar na rah jaa

gae din kii tanhaa thaa mai.n a.njuman me.n
yahaa.N ab mere raazadaa.N aur bhii hai.n

I found this poem deeply inspiring, timeless and soothing. Timeless, since the message is relevant across time. Soothing because it is written in Urdu.

There is a warmth in Urdu that other languages don't quite achieve. Would request other readers who have a better command of Urdu to translate this poem for me. Thank you.
