kahan meri manzil kahan meri raahe
kahan apne dil ko liye ja raha hu
kahan meri manzil kahan meri raahe
kahan apne dil ko liye ja raha hu

baharo ne mujhse kiya hai kinara
baharo ne mujhse kiya hai kinara
fizao ko sahje kiye ja raha hu
kahan meri manzil

giri aisi bijli jala aashiyana
magar ye chaman me kisi ne na jana
luti meri jind miti aarzuye
luti meri jind miti aarzuye
magar phir bhi ab tak peeye ja raha hu
kahan meri manzil

shikayat na unse na koi gila hai
shikayat na unse na koi gila hai
jahan me mohabbat ka ye hi sila hai
chhupaye huye dard dil me hazaaro
chhupaye huye dard dil me hazaaro
hujume tamanna liye ja raha hu
kahan meri manzil

bhula do mujhe aur meri kahani
bhula do mujhe aur meri kahani
mubarak ho tumko nayi zindgani
salamat raho tum ho sehra mubarak
duaye main dil se diye ja raha hu

Where lies my haven, where do pathways lead,
My heart adrift, a captive seed?
Where lies my haven, where do pathways wind,
My heart I carry, a sorrow to find?

The spring has turned, abandoned my embrace,
The spring has turned, left me to this place,
The winds of change, I silently appease,
Where lies my haven?

A lightning strike, my dwelling turned to ash,
Yet none perceived, within this garden's crash,
My life plundered, my longings swept away,
My life plundered, my longings swept away,
And still I breathe, though shadows hold their sway,
Where lies my haven?

No grievance felt, nor any spoken plea,
No grievance felt, for this is destiny,
The world’s reward for love, a bitter prize,
The world’s reward for love, a bitter prize,
A thousand pains, within my heart that rise,
My heart ablaze with longing's myriad ties,
Where lies my haven?

Forget me now, and cast my story down,
Forget me now, and cast my story down,
May joy attend your life, a fresh renown,
May you be blessed, with deserts, vast and free,
May you be blessed, with deserts, vast and free,
And blessings I bestow, eternally.
