ye zindagi chali manchali
meri bekhudi se kya ye keh gayi
o rehnuma, mujhko de bata
ke in hawao ne
mujhse kya kaha
chaar disha se gunje teri sada
aur koi nahi yaara
lauta hun main
tujhko na maine pahchana

ye jindagi dekho to zara
faila hai ujala
dekho rehnuma
teri yaado ne bas mujhko
yun chhua, sulga hai ye pal
har lamha lagta bas dhuan hi dhuan

khamoshiya kyu hai darmiyaa
isme hai zamana, koi hai kaha

ye zindagi chali manchali
meri bekhudi se kya ye keh gayi
o rehnuma, mujhko de bata
ke in hawao ne
mujhse kya kaha

This life, a wanderer unbound,
Whispered secrets to my heedless soul, profound.
O Guide, unveil to me the truth untold,
What winds have spoken, stories to unfold?
From four horizons, echoes of your call,
And none but you, my friend, encompass all.
Returned I am, yet in a haze I roam,
Unknowing still, the essence of your home.

Behold this life, a vibrant, spreading light,
O Guide, your memories, a touch so bright.
This moment flares, a flame within the night,
Each breath a smoke, obscuring pure delight.

Why silence hangs, a barrier between?
The world resides, where is the unseen?

This life, a wanderer unbound,
Whispered secrets to my heedless soul, profound.
O Guide, unveil to me the truth untold,
What winds have spoken, stories to unfold?
