rahiye ab aisi jagah chal kar jahaan koi na ho
hamasukhan koi na ho aur hamazabaan koi na ho
rahiye ab aisi jagah

be-dar-o-diwaar kaa ik ghar banaya chahiye
be-dar-o-diwaar kaa ik ghar banaya chahiye
ko_i hamasaayaa na ho aur paasabaan koi na ho
rahiye ab aisi jagah

padiye gar bimaar to koi na ho timaaradaar
padiye gar bimaar to koi na ho timaaradaar
aur agar mar jaaiye to nauhakhwaan koi na ho
rahiye ab aisi jagah

Let us depart to a realm, a silent space,
Where echoes fade, and no familiar face
Disturbs the hush. Let us depart and be.

A house of air, devoid of door or wall,
A refuge built, where shadows softly fall,
Unburdened by a neighbor’s watchful plea.

And should the illness claim, no hand to soothe,
No tender voice to whisper, truth by truth,
And should we pass, no mourner’s tear to see.
Let us depart to that place, and be.
