aate jate yun hi jindgi mil gayi
faasle kam huye manzile mil gayi
pahle kabhi na thi dil mein
koi halchal na sukun ki kami
tanha kahi rahti thi khushiyan
aankhon mein bhi na thi nami
ab khaab hai neende nahi
badli si hai dil ki zamin
aate jate yun hi jindgi mil gayi

chalte huye meri raahen kahan jane
kadamon se gum ho gayi
kahte huye dil ki khamoshiyan
jane kyun aisi tham si gayi
kuch aadhi si hai aashaye meri
hongi baaki kahan sochu yahi
aate jate yun hi jindgi mil gayi
faasle kam huye manzile mil gayi

Life just drifted, a passing breeze,
And met me here, among the trees.
Distances shrunk, destinations found,
Where once no comfort could be crowned.
Before, a stillness in my core,
No solace knew, nor wished for more.
My joys, like hermits, hid away,
And dryness reigned in every day.
Now dreams abound, where slumber flees,
My heart's earth, changed by mysteries.
Life just drifted, a passing breeze.

My paths, as I did start to roam,
Lost to footsteps, far from home.
My heart's silence, in its hold,
Why did it falter, grow so cold?
My hopes, half-born, a fragile plea,
Where will the rest of them now be?
Life just drifted, a passing breeze,
Distances shrunk, destinations ease.
