kehta hai hai jindagi tu kyu mujhme fir milta nahi
deta hai aisa safar kyu hai manjile jinki nahi
kehde khuda hai kaisa khuda tu jo bas me tere kuch nahi
ha koi toh wajah hogi jo yu hai majbur tu bhi kahi

jitna talashu tu milta nahi ye fitrat teri tu badalta nahi
jitna talashu tu milta nahi ye fitrat teri tu badalta nahi
tu bataa aise kyu teri marzi chalata hai tu
jite ji yu jalata hai tu
ishk me jine na de tu aur marne bhi deta nahi
kehta hai hai humsafar tu fir saath kyu deta nahi
kya hai khafa ya hai bewafa tu jo sunta meri kuch nahi
ha koi toh wajah hogi jo yu hai majbur tu bhi kahi

kehde khuda hai kaisa khuda tu jo bas me tere kuch nahi
ha koi toh wajah hogi jo yu hai majbur tu bhi kahi

Life, you haunt me, yet I find you not,
A journey given, with destinations forgot.
Tell me, God, what kind of God are you, unbound?
Is there a reason, for the prison you’ve found?

The more I seek, the further you recede,
Your nature constant, a changing creed.
The more I seek, the further you recede,
Your nature constant, a changing creed.
Why do you will, yet never truly seize?
You burn us living, with such unease.
You let us neither live in love, nor find release,
You call yourself a companion, yet grant no peace.
Are you angered, or faithless, to my plea unheard?
Is there a reason, for the pain we’ve incurred?

Tell me, God, what kind of God are you, unbound?
Is there a reason, for the prison you’ve found?
