mujhe yu hi karke khwabo se juda
jane kaha chhupke baitha hai khuda
janu na mai kab hua khud se gumshuda
kaise jiyu rooh bhi mujhse hai juda
kyu meri rahe
mujhse puche ghar kaha hai
kyu mujhse aake
dastak puche dar kaha hai
rahe aisi jinki manzil hi nahi
dhoondo mujhe ab mai rehta hu wahi
dil hai kahi aur dhadkan hai kahi
sanse hai magar kyu zinda mai nahi

ret bani hatho se yu beh gayi
taqdeer meri bikhri har jagah
kaise likhu phir se nayi dastan
gham ki syahi dikhti hai kaha
aahe jo chuni hai meri thi raza
rehta hu kyu phir khud se hi khafa
aise bhi hui thi mujhse kya khata
tune jo mujhe di jeene ki saza

bande tere mathe pe hai jo khiche
bas chand laqeero jitna hai jaha
aansu mere mujko mita keh rahe
rabb ka hukum na mitta hai
rahe aisi jinki manzil hi nahi
dhundho mujhe ab mai rehta hu wahi
dil hai kahi aur dhadkan hai kahi
sanse hai magar kyu zinda mai nahi

kyu mai jagu
aur wo sapne bo raha hai
kyu mera rab yu
aankhe khole so raha hai
kyu mai jagu

Torn from dreams, so abruptly cast,
Where does He hide, this God of vast?
I know not when, I lost my way,
How can I live, my soul astray?
Why do my paths,
Ask me, "Where's home?"
Why do they come,
And knock, "Where roam?"
Paths that lead to no shore in sight,
Seek me now, there I reside,
Heart's elsewhere, a pulse unseen,
Breathing, yet lifeless, it would seem.

Sand slipping, from hands so frail,
My fate scattered, in every trail,
How to write, a new tale to start?
Where can I find, ink for my heart?
Sighs I chose, my own decree,
Why then, with myself, I disagree?
What fault of mine, brought this plight?
That you gave me, a life of night?

On your brow, lines they weave,
A world as small, as you believe,
Tears of mine, whisper and fade,
God's command, will never degrade.
Paths that lead to no shore in sight,
Seek me now, there I reside,
Heart's elsewhere, a pulse unseen,
Breathing, yet lifeless, it would seem.

Why I awaken,
While dreams He sows,
Why my Lord,
His eyes repose?
Why I awaken?
