Main akela hi chala tha

Main akela hi chala tha janib-e-manzil magar,
Log saath aate gaye aur karwaan banta gaya.
– Majrooh Sultanpuri

Hindi:
मैं अकेला ही चला था जानिब-ए-मंज़िल मगर,
लोग साथ आते गए और कारवां बनता गया।

English Translation:
I began alone towards my destination,
But people joined in, and it became a caravan.
