imaan ko bekaar na kar du ya rab
is jeene ko dushwar na kar du ya rab
is khauf se har shaam ko pee leta hu
main khud se bhi inkaar na kar du ya rab

peene de mujhe bhar de mera paimana
duniya to hain ek uljha hua afsaana
jab tak mujhe maalum na ye ho jaaye
main aaya kahan se hu, kahan hain jaana

mujh se mera kya rishta hai
mujh se mera kya rishta hai
har ek rishta bhul gaya
itne aaine dekhe hain
apna chehra bhul gaya
mujh se mera kya rishta hai

ab to ye bhi yaad nahi hai
farq tha kitna dono me
ab to ye bhi yaad nahi hai
farq tha kitna dono me
us ki baatein yaad rahi
us ki baatein yaad rahi
aur uska lehja bhul gaya
itne aaine dekhe hain
apna chehra bhul gaya
mujh se mera kya rishta hai

pyasi dharti ke hothon per
mera naam nahi to kya
pyasi dharti ke hothon per
mera naam nahi to kya
main wo baadal ka tukda hu
main wo baadal ka tukda hu
jis ko dariya bhul gaya
itne aaine dekhe hain
apna chehra bhul gaya
mujh se mera kya rishta hai

duniya wale kuch bhi kahein
rashid apni majburi hain
duniya wale kuch bhi kahein
rashid apni majburi hain
uski gali jab yaad aayi hain
uski gali jab yaad aayi hain
ghar ka rasta bhul gaya
itne aaine dekhe hain
apna chehra bhul gaya
mujh se mera kya rishta hai
har ek rishta bhul gaya
mujh se mera kya rishta hai
har ek rishta bhul gaya
mujh se mera kya rishta hai

Lest faith unravel, O Lord, I pray,
Lest this life become a shadowed way,
Each evening, fear compels this draught,
Lest I deny myself, come what may.

Let me drink, fill my cup to the brim,
This world, a tale of tangled whim.
Until I know, with truth's embrace,
From whence I came, my final hymn.

What bond is this, I hold so dear?
What bond is this, I wrestle here?
Each tie forgotten, lost to sight,
So many mirrors, filled with fear.
My own reflection, lost in haze,
What bond is this, in life's maze?

I cannot recall, no longer know,
The subtle space where two paths go.
I cannot recall, the difference slight,
Between the shadows, to and fro.
Her words remain, a whispered plea,
Her words remain, eternally,
But her soft tone, a fading show.
So many mirrors, filled with fear.
My own reflection, lost in haze,
What bond is this, in life's maze?

Upon the thirsty earth's parched lips,
If my name's unheard, what then, it slips?
Upon the thirsty earth's parched lips,
If my name's unheard, what then, it slips?
I am a cloud, a drifting tear,
I am a cloud, a drifting tear,
The ocean's memory, slowly slips.
So many mirrors, filled with fear.
My own reflection, lost in haze,
What bond is this, in life's maze?

Let the world speak, let them decry,
Rashid's plight, beneath the sky.
Let the world speak, let them decry,
Rashid's plight, beneath the sky.
When her lane arose, in memory's hold,
When her lane arose, in memory's hold,
The path to home, I let it die.
So many mirrors, filled with fear.
My own reflection, lost in haze,
What bond is this, in life's maze?
Each tie forgotten, lost to sight,
What bond is this, in life's maze?
Each tie forgotten, lost to sight,
What bond is this, in life's maze?
