yeh naghme adhoore se

kuchh nagme adhoore se, bechain kalpana hai
madhosh zindai mein, chhupi kaisi tamanna hai

some melodies ongoing, a restless imagination
in this drunken life, what need are we hiding

tanhaiyon mein ghirkar tanhayi dhoondte hain
parchhaiyon ke peechhe sachai dhoondte hain

surrounded by loneliness we look for solitude
behind these shadows, we search for truth

letey hain khwaab kaisi angraiyaan yun mann mein
na pankh theharte hain, na paon hi uthhte hain

what dreams stretch langorously inside our hearts
these wings wouldn't stay, these feet wouldn't start

chherhte hain umangon ko, khwaishein jagaate hain
kis kis tarah se dekho dhadkan ko lubhaate hain

teasing our needs, waking desires within
see how they try to woo our heartbeats

maayoosiyon se larhte, mann mein hi na simattey
akaash mein chaahat ki umeed ke taarey hain

fighting disappointments, impossible to contain
in this sky of love, these stars of hopeful refrain

lehron se yeh umarrhte, phir khud hi hain palattey
na jaane kya yeh letey, kya kya diye jaate hain

rising like the waves receding on their own
what do they take, what give us in return

kuchh aisi hasratein hain, jo khwaab jagaati hain
uthhne ki jaldi mein kahin bikhar hi na jayein

some desires are like that, giving birth to dreams
in this hurry to wake up hope there is no shattering

anmol yeh lamhe hain waqt in mein sama jaaye
pehchaan adhoori ho ehsaas toh miltey hain

precious are these moments may time merge into them
incomplete introductions maybe, feelings are the same

sailaab hai yeh kaisa benaam koi rishta
khud se hi bekhabar yeh khud ko hi bhula jaye

what is this tempest an unnamed relation
stranger to itself still lost in itself

sajda kiya hai humne duaaon ki dhadkanon par
chaahat ki bekhudi mein intehaa bhi sharmaaye

worshipping on heartbeats of blessings
this selfless adulation puts to shame every zenith

khilta hai mann kabhi toh, aankhein ho gayi namm
kashish hai yeh kaise kis rooh ka sparsh paayein

sometimes the heart smiles, or eyes dampen
what is this pull which soul touches like this

kya dhoondti hai nazrein pighalta hai mann hamara
hain hi nahin agag toh phir kis baat se ghabraayein

what do these eyes search for the heart melting
where there is nothing 'separate' then why the worrying

yeh naghme adhoore se zindagi ki kalpana hain
khilte hain yeh aankhon mein hothon par jhalak jayein

these melodies ongoing are a dream of life
flowering in eyes, drunk on our lips they alight
