mujhe yu hi karke khwabo se juda
jane kaha chhupke baitha hai khuda
janu na mai kab hua khud se gumshuda
kaise jiyu rooh bhi mujhse hai juda
kyu meri rahe, mujhse puche ghar kaha hai
kyu mujhse aake, dastak puche dar kaha hai
rahe aisi jinki manzil hi nahi
dhoondo mujhe ab mai rehta hu wahi
dil hai kahi aur dhadkan hai kahi
sanse hai magar kyu zinda mai nahi

ret bani hatho se yu beh gayi
taqdeer meri bikhri har jagah
ret bani hatho se yu beh gayi
taqdeer meri bikhri har jagah
kaise likhu phir se nayi dastan
gham ki syahi dikhti hai kaha
aise bhi hui thi mujhse kya khata
tune jo mujhe di jeene ki saza

Cast adrift from dreams, I wander, lost,
Where does God conceal, at what hidden cost?
I know not when my self became estranged,
How can I live, when my soul's rearranged?

Why do my paths ask where my home resides?
Why does knocking at my door confide?
Paths that lead to no eventual shore,
Search for me now, I dwell there anymore.
My heart is elsewhere, my pulse beats afar,
Though I breathe, why is life so bizarre?

Like sand, it slipped from grasping hands, and flowed,
My destiny scattered, a burden bestowed.
Like sand, it slipped from grasping hands, and flowed,
My destiny scattered, a burden bestowed.
How to pen a fresh, new, vibrant tale?
Where is the ink, when sorrow does prevail?
What transgression did I commit, alas?
That you have sentenced me to this life's pass.
