1/3: bahr

chaaraagar ne bahr-e-taskeen

rakh diya hai dil pe haath

meherbaan hai vo magar

na-aashnaa-e-zakhm hai

the healer, for comfort’s sake,

placed his hand on my heart

he is kind, but he is

not familiar with my ailment

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

2/3: bahr

khuda tujhe kisi

toofan se aashna kar de

ki tere bahr ki maujon

mein izteraab naheen

may god familiarize

you with some storms

the waves of your sea

seem a little too calm

Theme:Grit, Resilience & Courage (36)

3/3: bahr

ham ko bharam ne

bahr-e-tavahhum bana diya

dariya samajh ke kuud paDe

hum saraab mein

doubt has turned me into

an ocean of superstition

thinking it is a river,

i jumped headlong into a mirage

Theme:Religion, Reason & Tradition (48)
