1/6: dar

hum to samjhe thay ke

chaaron dar muqaffal ho chuke

kya khabar thi

ek darwaaza khula rah jaayega

i thought all

the doors were sealed shut

who knew one

would remain open

2/6: dar

jalaaye rakkha hai main ne bhi

ik charaagh-e-ummeed

tumhaara dar bhi

muqaffal naheen hua ab tak

i too have kept lit

a lamp of hope

your door too has

not yet been locked

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

3/6: dar

tum jo aaye ho to

shakl-e-dar-o-deewaar hai aur

kitni rangeen

meri shaam hui jaati hai

since you have arrived, the very appearance

of the walls and doors has changed

how colorful

my evening is becoming

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

4/6: dar

maqbool ho na ho

yeh muqaddar ki baat hai

sajde kisi ke dar pe

kiye ja raha huun main

whether accepted or not

it is a matter of fate

but at someone’s doorstep

i am prostrate in prayer

5/6: dar

dar humko bhi lagta hai

raaste ke sannaate se

lekin ek safar par ai dil

ab jaana to hoga

i too feel frightened

by the lonely quietness of the path

but my heart is set on this journey

i have no choice but to go

Theme:Quest, Journey & Destination (44)

6/6: dar

kitni deewarein uThi hain

ek ghar ke darmiyan

ghar kahi gum ho gaya

deewar-o-dar ki darmiyan

how many walls have arisen

within a home

the home is now lost somewhere

within these walls and doors
