Kah De Na Duniya Se, Main Duniya Ke Na Kabil
Tell the world, I am not worthy of the world
Hai Tezi Duniya Mein, Mera Dil Haule Chalta Hai Kafi
The world is fast, my heart beats slowly
Yahan Talvaren Hathon Mein Aur Apne Hathon Mein Hai Syahi
Here they have swords in their hands and I have ink in mine
Inko Hi Aadat Hai, Hamen Aadat-E-Wah-Wahi
They are used to flattery, I am used to praise
Jhooth Chehre Pe Bolun To Fir Main Khas Kaise Hua?
How did I become special if I lie on my face?
Sach Bola Na To Fir Tere Dil Ke Pas Kaise Hua?
How did I get close to your heart if I didn’t tell the truth?
Ummidon Pe Khara Nahin To Teri Aas Kaise Hua?
How did I become your hope if I didn’t live up to your expectations?
Ye Insaniyat Hai Jalti, Ye Koi Ghas Ka Nahin Dhuan
This is humanity burning, this is not smoke from grass
We’re Dying, Ya Phir Zinda Hai Koyi
Are we dying, or is anyone alive?
Pehla Lagta Tha Mujhe Bhi Karam Likhta Hai Koyi
I used to think that someone writes fate
Main Galat Hota Hoon Par Mujhe Galat Dikha Aur Koyi
Even if I am incorrect, I attempt to recognize what is wrong in others.
Jo Pehlu Badle Har Mauke Pe Chalta Sikka Hai Wohi
The coin that changes sides every time is the one that runs
Ye Bhookh Khaane Pe Au Zyada Bhadhti Ja Rahi Hai
This hunger is increasing after eating
Jalti Inansaniyat To Dharti Tapti Ja Rahi Hai
The burning humanity is making the earth hot
Logon Ke Dil Huwe Thande Ya Phir Sardi Chha Gayi Hai
People’s hearts have become cold, or has winter come?
Banana Hai Ghar Toh Pohncha Bhi Na Sahi Se, Kyunki
I have to build a house but I have not reached home properly because…
Gharonda Bacha Na, Ujhad Gai Daali-Daali
The nest was not saved, and all of its branches were destroyed.
Asman Hai Viraana, Jahan Hai Khali-Khali
The sky is abandoned and empty.
Udun Main Kahan Ko? Pata Na Hai Manzil Ka
Where should I fly? I’m not sure where we are going.
Puche Koi Naam Tera To Maine Hai “Rab” Likha
If someone wonders what your name is, I wrote “God”.
Uda Kaga, Uda Aasman Mein
Crows soar toward the sky.
Ghar Se Dur Jaye, Gharwalon Ki Bat Man Ke
Going far from home, obeying its family
Shuru Rasta Hua To Dil Hai Har Man Le
If the path starts, the heart is ready to give up
Par Chalna Iklauta Rasta, Jivan Rag Samne
But walking is the only way, life’s melody is ahead
Nai Jagah, Nai Hawa, Naye Badal, Nai Vajah
New place, new air, new clouds, new reason
Dhire-Dhire Lagne Lagi Apne Ghonsle Ki Tarah
Gradually it started to feel like its own home
Dur Ghar Se, Naya Makan, Itna Hosh Hi Hai Kahan?
Far from home, new house, where is so much sense?
Par Ye Makan To Fir Aksar Ghar Pe Lautne Ki Tarap
But this house often yearns to return home
Parinde Ka Ghute Dam
The bird is suffocating
Parinde Ko Mile “Tum” Mil Ke Bole Na Koee “Ham”
The bird found “you”, but they didn’t say “we” together
Parinda Hai Bheed Mein Par Sunasaan Lage Sab
The bird is in the crowd but feels lonely
Parinde Ko Maan Kee Yaad Aae Par Bole Na, Use Aatee Hai Sharam
The bird misses its mother but doesn’t say anything, it feels ashamed
Parinda Hai Pareshaan Use Ghonsala Na Mile
The bird is troubled, it can’t find a nest
Ghar Kee Bhare Vo Udaan Par Koee Hausla Na Mile
It takes off from home but doesn’t find any motivation
Aasaman Ude Vo To Use Josh Kahan Mile?
Where will it find the courage to fly in the sky?
Dosh Dene Valee Duniya Mein Yahan Dost Kahan Mile? Bata
Where will it find friends in a world that blames? Tell me
Maramaree Machee Dane-Dane Ki
There is a fight for every grain
Yahan Hod Machee Neeche Gira Ke Bas Aage Jane Ki
There is a competition to bring each other down and just move ahead
Dekhane Vale Duniya Nahin Dikhane Vale Ki
The world doesn’t see the doer, but the showman
Rotee Kamanee Nahin Chheenanee Hai Bas Khane Vale Ki
One doesn’t earn bread, but just snatches it from the eater
Mile Sab Ko Yahan Jagah Kafee Fir Pade Kafee Na Ye Jagah Sabako Rooth Ke Ye Gila
Everyone gets enough space here, but still this place is not enough, everyone complains about it
Insanon Mein Bhee Kafee Mainne Dhoondhe Hain Insan
I have searched for humans among humans,
Par Ek Bhee Na Mujhe Kaheen Dhoondhane Pe Mila,
but I haven’t found a single one
Ud Ja Kaaga, Re, Tora Ambar Toke Pukaare
Fly high, crow. Your amber is calling for you.
Ud Ja Kaaga, Re, Tora Ambar Toke Pukaare
Soar high, crow; the sky is beckoning for you.
Ghoomta Hai Toota-Toota, Parinda Rootha-Rootha
A broken bird wanders, angry and resentful
Ghoomta Hai Toota-Toota, Parinda Rootha-Rootha
Anguished and bitter, a broken bird roams
Toota-Toota, Parinda Rootha-Rootha
Broken, angry and resentful bird
Toota-Toota, Parinda Rootha-Rootha
Broken, angry and resentful bird
