Raqs-e-Hayat literally meaning 'The Dancing Life', is a tender and timeless collection of poems by Avtar Singh—a voice shaped by history, softened by empathy, and strengthened by truth.
From the shadows of Partition to the light of lived wisdom, his verses explore the fleeting nature of existence, the quiet strength of honesty, and the enduring grace of love. Each poem is a step in the dance of life—measured, meaningful, and deeply human.
ज़िंदगी की चाल समझनी है मुश्किल
अपनाती है कौनसी दिशा कौनसी मंज़िल
रक़्स में रहती है यह हमेशा
पलों में जाती है यह बदल

زندگی کی چال سمجھنی ہے مشکل
اپناتی ہے کونسی دشا کونسی منزل
رقص میں رہتی ہے یہ ہمیشہ
پلوں میں جاتی ہے یہ بدل
