mujhe khabar thi mera
intezaar ghar mein raha
ye haadsa tha ki main

raah-e-talab mein
kise aarzoo-e-manzil hai
hai shuoor ho to
safar khud safar ka haasil hai
in the path of love and desire
who wishes for the end?
if the path makes sense
journey is journey's reward

raste mein mil gaya to
shareek-e-safar na jaan
jo chhanv mehrban ho
use apna ghar na jaan
whoever you find along the way
mistake them not as friends of life
that free shade you find
mistake it not as your home

lekin safar zaroori hai

that stretches far in sight
no matter which direction
the journey is a must

and still am today

today, in search of myself

chalne ka hausla naheen
rukna muhaal kar diya
ishq ke is safar ne to
mujh ko niDhaal kar diya

nigah buland sukhan dilnawaz
jaan pur soz
yahee hai rakht-e-safar
mir-e-karwan ke liye
lofty vision, heart-warming speech
soul on fire
this is all that is needed
from the leader of the caravan

ab judaayi ke safar ko
mere aasaan karo
tum mujhe khwaab mein aa kar
na pareshaan karo

of mine a little easier
please do not torment me
by appearing in my dreams

kabhi din ki dhoop mein jhoom ke
kabhi shab ke phool ko chuum ke
yun hi saath saath chalen sada
kabhi khatm apna safar na ho
sometimes swaying in the sunshine
sometimes kissing evening flowers
let us walk together forever
may our journey never end

safar mein dhoop to hogi
jo chal sako to chalo
tum apne aap ko khud hi
badal sako to chalo
enduring the harsh sun of the journey
those who can keep going, keep going
if along the way, you can figure out
how to reinvent yourself, keep going
