ye anjaan raahe, ye manjil parayi
mujhe zindagi tu kahan leke aayi
kahan leke aayi
ye anjaan raahe

aaj meri majbur wafa
khud mere liye iljaam huyi
ruth gaye hai geet milan ke
dard me dubi sham huyi
jane kis din tutegi ab
saanso ki ye shahnayi
ye anjaan raahe, ye manjil parayi
mujhe zindagi tu kahan leke aayi
kahan leke aayi
ye anjaan raahe

These unknown paths, a foreign goal,
Where, oh Life, do you lead my soul?
Where do you lead?
These unknown paths.

Today, my forced devotion,
Accusation against me is spun.
The songs of union have fled,
Aching, the evening has begun.
I wonder, when will shatter now,
The shehnai of breath’s decree?
These unknown paths, a foreign goal,
Where, oh Life, do you lead my soul?
Where do you lead?
These unknown paths.
