Sher on Rahbar

A path finder is essentially

a helpful being but he may also play a dubious role. At least, this is what we see in Urdu poetry where he assumes a different role and leads one to blind alleys. In fact, the path finder is a strong metaphor around which much has been written. A selection of verses on this character would be of interest to you.

nigah buland suḳhan dil-navāz jaañ pur-soz

yahī hai raḳht-e-safar mīr-e-kārvāñ ke liye

nigah buland suKHan dil-nawaz jaan pur-soz

yahi hai raKHt-e-safar mir-e-karwan ke liye

Allama Iqbal

mujhe ai rahnumā ab chhoḌ tanhā

maiñ ḳhud ko āzmānā chāhtā huuñ

mujhe ai rahnuma ab chhoD tanha

main KHud ko aazmana chahta hun

Hairat Gondvi

dil rāheñ judā haiñ duniyā se

koī bhī rāhbar nahīñ hotā

dil ki rahen juda hain duniya se

koi bhi rahbar nahin hota
