yoon hiraasaan hain
musaafir bastiyon ke darmiyan
ho gayi ho shaam
jaise jangalon ke darmiyan
travelers seem so panicked
stuck in between cities
as if darkness has descended
upon dense forests
Theme:Quest, Journey & Destination (44)
dekhiye to
hai kaarwaan varna
har musaafir
safar mein tanha hai
if you observe
you see a caravan, but
every traveler
is alone in the journey
Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)
humsafar chahiye
hujuum nahin
ek musaafir bhi
qafila hai mujhe
need a companion
not a crowd
one such person
is a caravan for me
Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)
safar hai shart
musaafir nawaaz bahutere
hazaar ha shajr-e-saaya
daar raah mein hain
journey the only condition
generous companions many
thousands of shady trees
line along the path
musaafir hain yaaron
na ghar hai na thikaana
mujhe chalte jaana hai
bas chalte jaana
i am a traveler, my friends
with neither home, nor shelter
i just need to keep walking
keep walking
musaafir hain
musaafir har taraf
magar har shakhs
tanha ja raha hai
travelers all around
travelers everywhere
but each of them
traveling alone
hasrat ye us
musaafir-e-bekas ke roye
jo thak ke baith jaata
ho manzil ke saamne
shed tears for the unfulfilled
desires of that helpless traveler
who sits tired by the road
with his destination in sight
