main dhundhta hu jise
main dhundhta hu jise wo jahan nahi milta
nayi zamin, naya aasma nahi milta
main dhundhta hu jise wo jaha nahi milta
nayi zamin, naya aasma nahi milta

nayi zamin, naya aasma bhi mil jaye
nayi zamin, naya aasma bhi mil jaye
naye basr ka kahin, kuch nisha nahi milta
naye basr ka kahin, kuch nisha nahi milta
main dhundhta hu jise

khada hu kab se main, chehro ke ek jungle mein
khada hu kab se main, chehro ke ek jungle mein
tumhare chehre ka, kuch bhi yaha nahi milta
tumhare chehre ka, kuch bhi yaha nahi milta
main dhundhta hu jise

wo mera gaon hai, wo mere gaon ke chulhe
wo mera gaon hai, wo mere gaon ke chulhe
ke jinme shole to shole, dhua nahi milta
ke jinme shole to shole, dhua nahi milta
main dhundhta hu jise wo jahan nahi milta
nayi zamin, naya aasma nahi milta
main dhundhta hu jise

I search for that which is not found,
A world unseen, on untrod ground.
New earth, new skies, escape my sight,
I search for that, and find no light.

New earth and skies, they may arise,
New dwellings bloom before my eyes,
Yet trace of home, of where I've been,
No echo of that life within.
I search for that…

I stand, for ages, in a wood
Of faces, misunderstood.
Your face, a ghost, a vanished gleam,
No likeness here, within this dream.
I search for that…

My village sleeps, the hearths now cold,
My village sleeps, a story told,
Where flames still dance, a fiery grace,
But smoke no longer fills the space.
I search for that which is not found,
A world unseen, on untrod ground.
New earth, new skies, escape my sight,
I search for that, and find no light.
I search for that…
