nahi rakhta dil mein kuch
rakhta hun zubaan par
samjhe na apne bhi kabhi
kah nahi sakta main kya
sahta hun chhupa kar
ek aisi aadat hai meri

sabhi to hain jinse milta hun
sahi jo hai inse kahta hun
jo samajhta hun, maine dekha na rang
dil aaya hai sirf adaa par
ek aisi chahat hai meri
bahaaro ke ghere se laaya main
dil sajaa kar, ek aisi sohbat hai meri
saaye mein chhaye rahta hun
aankein bichhaye rahta hun
jinse milta hun

kitno ko dekha hain hamne yaha
kuch sikha hain hamne unse naya

pahle fursat thi ab hasrate samakar
ek aisi uljhan hain meri
khud chalke rukta hun jahan jis jagah par
ek aisi sarhad hain meri
kahne se bhi main darta hun
apno ke dhun mein rahta hun
kar kya sakta hun, de sakta hun main
thoda pyar yahan par
jitni haisiyat hai meri
rah jaun sabke dil mein dil ko basakar
ek aisi niyat hain meri
ho jaye to bhi razi hun
kho jaau to main baaki hun
yun samajhta hun

raste na badle na badla jahan
phir kyun badalte kadam hain yaha

I hold nothing within,
but speak it on my tongue.
Even my own fail to grasp,
what I cannot express.
I endure in secrecy,
such is my hidden custom.

All I meet, I greet,
and to the truthful, truth I speak.
What I comprehend, I've yet to see,
only on grace, my heart does alight.
Such is my yearning.
From the bloom's embrace, I've brought,
my heart adorned, such is my communion.
In shadows, I linger,
with eyes laid open,
for those I meet.

So many faces, we have known,
from them, new lessons we have grown.
Once, leisure reigned, now desires abound,
such is my entanglement.
I walk, and halt where I choose,
such is my boundary.
I fear to speak,
absorbed in the melodies of my own,
what can I offer?
I can only give
a little love here,
as is my capacity.
To dwell in every heart, to enshrine my own,
such is my intention.
If I am, I am content,
if I am lost, I remain.
Thus I understand.
The paths remain, the world does not shift,
then why do our steps falter here?
