YAAD NA RAHEI!
CAN'T REMEMBER

Eei Vakt aisi thokkar na maar ki sambhalna yaad na rahei
Itnei bhi dil pei zulm na kar ki dhadakna yaad na rahei

Ish mann mei bhi kuch armaan hei aur neino mei kuch sapnei
Itna na inko tadpaaya kar ki hakikat hi yaad na rahei

Bahot poudhei hei ish gulshan mei par chanv ko tarstei rahei
Itni bhi dhoop na barsaaya kar ki chaanv ka ehsas na rahei

Iss tarah kho gaye hei tujhmein ki khud ko nahi pehchantei
Yunh na humei bebas-laachar kar ki apna naam bhi yaad na rahei

Jivan kei maaynei bhul gaye hei teri saanso pei ji rahei hei
Humein hum sei itna paraya na kar ki jina hi yaad na rahei

 

Oh Destiny don't throw me like this that I can't remember to get up
Don't hurt my heart so badly that it can't remember to beat

My mind has some thoughts and eyes have some dreams too
Don't harass it so much that it can't remember  reality

There are many trees in this garden but I want some shadow
Don't give so much of heat that I can't feel the soothing shadow

I am so lost in you that I can't recognise myself even
Don't make me so helpless that I can't even remember my name

I have lost the meaning of life I am living on your breaths
Don't make myself so unknown to me that I can't remember to live even
