RAH-E-RAAST AGAR CHEH DOOR HAST Yeh ek Faarsii kee idiom hai, the last word HAST isse AST bhi likhte hain, donon kaa matlab ek hee hotaa hai. Iss idiom ke literal meaning hain, hameshaa jaanee pehchaanee rah pe hee chalnaa chaahiye, chaahe woh kitnee bhi lambhee yaa mushkil ho. Lekin iss idiom ke philosophical meaning bhi hote hain jo main ek sher kee shakal mein pesh kar rahaa hoon, yeh neeche darj hai.

DUNIYA KE MAALIK MUJHE TEHRIK DE AISEE KE RAH-E-RAAST PE HEE CHALOON,
RAH CHAAHE KITNEE BHI DUSHWAAR-O-LAMBHEE HO RAH-E-RAAST PE HEE CHALOON,
DARTAA HOON KE KAHIN BHATAK NAA JAAUN KISEE TAARIK RAAHON MEIN,
KAR DE HAR RAH APNE GHAR KEE ROSHAN TAA KE TERE GHAR KEE RAH PE HEE CHALOON!!

Tehrik = inspiration; wisdom; Dushwaar = mushkil; Raast = sahee; theek;

Year 1975 - 1980 main Iran mein Architect/Planner kaa kaam kartaa thaa, kaam ke sisile mein main aksar National Iranian oil Company ke planes mein travel kiyaa kartaa thaa, Inh flights mein kaafi Iranians mere dost ban gaaye theh. Ek dost ne mujhe iss Idiom kaa matlab bataayaa thaa aur yeh bhi bataayaa thaa ke yeh Idiom ek darvesh ne 14th century mein India kee visit ke baad likhee thee. Uss ne mujhe yeh bhi bataayaa thaa ke iss kaa idea Darvesh ko Veda's kee kisee Hyme se hee milaa thaa. Yeh mujhe kuchh hee saal pehle maloom parhaa hai ke idiom kaa matlab Gayatri mantra kee aakhre line ke saath bilkul miltaa hai. Jisse main apnee kal kee post mein likhun gaa.
