A poem my sister wrote for me (no one else has ever written a poem for me up to this point…)

“Sab ko miljagi manzal, yeh zaroori tho nahi

Zindagi rahay-safaar hai, yuoo-hi chaltay rehna

Tum charagon ki thara rahaon may jaltay rehna

Her andarayon ko ujalon mein badle the rehna”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It roughly translates to:

“Not everyone is meant to reach the final destination – and it isn’t necessary.

Life is simply a journey; just keep moving forward.

Like a lamp among other lamps, keep yourself burning bright.

Keep turning every darkness into light”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think she meant well… she wrote it for me after my first neurology appointment sometime last year.

I read it again for the first time earlier this week, had chatgpt translate it to English for me, and cried myself to sleep.
