kya farz hai ki sab ko
mile ek sa jawaab
aao na ham bhi sair karen
koh-e-tur ki
why is it necessary that
everyone gets the same answer
come, let’s go explore
the mountain of Sinai
Theme:Quest, Journey & Destination (44)
‘bedaar’ raah-e-ishq
kisi se na tai hui
sahraa mein ‘qais’
koh mein ‘farhaad’ rah gaya
in the path of love, bedaar,
who ever attains his goal?
majnu remained in the wilderness
and farhad in the mountains
Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)
jab zulm-o-sitam ke
koh-e-garan
rooyi ki tarah uD jaayenge
hum dekhenge
when the mighty mountains
of tyranny and oppression
fly away like clumps of cotton
we shall see
Theme:Oppression, Rebellion & Freedom (38)
har rang har aahang
mere saamne aajiz
main koh-e-maani ki
bulandi pe khada hoon
every color, every melody
stands humbled before me
as i stand on top of
the mountain of enlightenment
Theme:Creativity, Philosophy & Enlightenment (30)
