Manzilein Laakh Kathan Aayein, Guzar Jaaunga | منزلیں لاکھ کٹھن آئیں، گزر جاؤں گا | Saqi Amrohvi|sukhan e anjum Presenting a powerful and deeply inspiring Urdu ghazal by Saqi Amrohvi (ساقی امروہوی), filled with courage, perseverance, self-belief, love, loneliness, and the determination to keep moving forward despite the hardships of life. The opening couplet beautifully establishes the spirit of the entire ghazal: منزلیں لاکھ کٹھن آئیں، گزر جاؤں گا حوصلہ ہار کے بیٹھوں گا تو مر جاؤں گا Manzilein laakh kathan aayein, guzar jaaunga, Hausla haar ke baithunga to mar jaaunga. These lines express an unshakable resolve: no matter how difficult the destinations or how challenging the journey becomes, the poet will continue forward. For him, surrendering to despair is more unbearable than the struggle itself. As the ghazal unfolds, Saqi Amrohvi reflects upon those who once walked beside him but are nowhere to be found when the road becomes difficult: چل رہے تھے جو مرے ساتھ، کہاں ہیں وہ لوگ جو یہ کہتے تھے، رستے میں بکھر جاؤں گا The ghazal then turns inward, exploring displacement and the painful realization that even one's own home may cease to provide comfort: در بدر ہونے سے پہلے کبھی سوچا بھی نہ تھا گھر مجھے راس نہ آیا تو کدھر جاؤں گا Love, too, becomes part of this emotional journey. The poet had once imagined finding a place in every heart, but experience has taught him otherwise: راس آئی نہ محبت مجھے ورنہ ساقیؔ میں نے سوچا تھا کہ ہر دل میں اُتر جاؤں گا One of the most beautiful ideas in the ghazal is the poet's desire to leave something of himself behind—like colors added to a beloved image—so that the world may remember him: یاد رکھے مجھے دنیا تری تصویر کے ساتھ رنگ ایسے تری تصویر میں بھر جاؤں گا And finally, darkness cannot determine his direction. His journey belongs to the light: لاکھ روکیں یہ اندھیرے مرا رستہ لیکن میں جدھر روشنی جائے گی اُدھر جاؤں گا This ghazal is more than an expression of sorrow. It is a declaration of resilience, dignity and hope. Saqi Amrohvi transforms the difficulties of life into a poetic journey in which darkness may obstruct the road, but it can never extinguish the desire to reach the light.
