humming

zindagi hai yaa kisi kaa itazaar
badaliyo ke odhani se chaandani
jaane kis ko jhaankati hai baar baar

chaand taaro ko hai nid si aa gayi
har nazaare pe ik bekhudi chhaa gayi
mast ho ke jhumati hui bahaar
jaane kis ko jhaankati hai baar baar
zindagi hai yaa

khatm hoti nahi shauk ki justaju o a a
apane dil me liye pyaar ki aarazu
ku-ba-ku ga_i havaaen mushkabaar
jaane kis ko jhaankati hai baar baar
zindagi hai yaa

dil ki betaabiyaan le rahi hai mazaa
ai meri zindagi, aa bhi jaa, aa bhi jaa
har nazar hai aaj kitani beqaraar
jaane kis ko jhaankati hai baar baar
zindagi hai yaa

Is this life, or a waiting for a face?
Is this life, or a waiting for a face?
The moonbeams through the cloud's veil laced,
Peering, again and again, at what space?
Is this life, or a waiting for a face?

The moon and stars have drifted to sleep's keep,
The moon and stars have drifted to sleep's keep,
A haze of rapture, horizons steep,
Drunk with joy, the springtime winds sweep,
Peering, again and again, at what deep?
Is this life, or a waiting for a face?

The thirst for longing, it never ends,
Clutching love's wish, the heart transcends,
Fragrant breezes, where each current wends,
Peering, again and again, as the soul sends,
Is this life, or a waiting for a face?

The heart's unrest is finding its release,
The heart's unrest is finding its release,
O, my life, come forth, bring your peace,
Every gaze, today, begs for its ease,
Peering, again and again, at what fleece?
Is this life, or a waiting for a face?
