1 Urdu couplets and shers with khatra

khatra(m): danger

1 / 1: khatra

zamane mein aaye hai to jeene ka hunar rakhna

dushmanon se koi khatra nahi

bas apne par nazar rakhna

having arrived in this world

figure out the art of living

there is no danger from enemies

just keep a watch on your dear ones
