kyun meri raahen
mujhse puchen ghar kahan hai
kyun mujhse aake
dastak puche dar kahan hai
raahen aesi jinki
manjil hi nhi
dhundo mujhe ab mein
rehta hun wahin
dil hai kahin aur
dhadkan hai kahin
saansen hai magar kyun
jinda mein nahin

ret bani haathon se yun beh gai
taqdeer meri bikhri har jagah
kaise likhun phir se nai daastan
gam ki syaahi dikhti hai kahan
hooo raahen jo chuni hai meri thi razaa
rehta hun kyun phir khud se hi khafaa
aesi bhi hui thi mujhse kya khataa
tune jo mujhe di jeene ki sazaa

bande tere maathe pe hai jo khichi
bas chnd lakiron jitna hai jahan
aansu mere mujhko mita keh rhe
rab ka hukum naa mitta hai yahan
hooo raahen aese jinki
manjil hi nahin
dhundo mujhe ab mein
rehta hun wahin
dil hai kahin aur
dhadkan hai kahin
saansen hai magar kyun
jinda mein nahin


kyun mein jaagun
aur vo sapne bo raha hai
kyun mera rab yun
aankhen ko le so raha hai
kyun mein jaagun

Why do my paths
Ask me where home lies?
Why do they come to me,
Knock, and ask where the door is?
Paths like these,
That have no destination,
Search for me now, I
Dwell there, in that station.
The heart is elsewhere,
The heartbeat is afar,
Breaths are here, but why
Am I not who I are?

Like sand, it flowed away from hands,
My fate scattered everywhere.
How do I rewrite a new tale now,
Where does the ink of sorrow appear?
Oh, the paths I chose, my own decree,
Why do I then stay, displeased with me?
What offense did I commit,
That you gave me the sentence of life, eternally?

Oh mortal, on your forehead drawn,
Is a world as small as a few lines.
My tears are telling me to erase,
God's command does not vanish here.
Oh, paths like these,
That have no destination,
Search for me now, I
Dwell there, in that station.
The heart is elsewhere,
The heartbeat is afar,
Breaths are here, but why
Am I not who I are?

Why do I wake
While He sows dreams?
Why does my Lord
Sleep with closed eyes, it seems?
Why do I wake?
