sahil jo dubo de kashti ko
sahil jo dubo de kashti ko
sahil ki tamanna kaun kare
sahil jo dubo de kashti ko
aaram na ho jis manzil par
manzil ki tamanna kaun kare
sahil jo dubo de kashti ko

jab dukh hi dukh ho duniya me
roto pe hans de mehfil me
duniya me mohabbat kisko ho
mehfil ki tamanna kaun kare
sahil jo dubo de kashti ko

jab jaal bichha ho gulshan me
aur kaante uljhe daman me
us baag ki khwahish kaun kare
us gul ki tamanna kaun kare
sahil jo dubo de kashti ko

ummed miti dil tut gaya
wo shama bujhi wo dil na raha
tute huye dil se hansti huyi
mehfil ki tamanna kaun kare
sahil jo dubo de kashti ko
sahil ki tamanna kaun kare
sahil jo dubo de kashti ko

The shore that drowns the very boat,
Who yearns for shores, adrift and remote?
The shore that drowns the very boat.

At a destination that grants no rest,
Who dreams of journeys, put to the test?
The shore that drowns the very boat.

When sorrow reigns, the world a tear,
And laughter mocks the weeping here,
Who'd love a world of such despair?
Who seeks such crowds, beyond compare?
The shore that drowns the very boat.

When traps are set within the rose,
And thorns cling fast to where one goes,
Who'd crave that garden, dark and deep?
Who'd yearn for blossoms, secrets to keep?
The shore that drowns the very boat.

When hope has died, the heart undone,
The candle quenched, the life withdrawn,
From a broken heart, a mocking sound,
Who'd seek the laughter all around?
The shore that drowns the very boat.
Who yearns for shores, adrift and remote?
The shore that drowns the very boat.
