saahil pe qaid
laakhon safinon ke vaaste
meri shikasta naav hai
toofan liye hue
the piers on the shore
are for lakhs of boats
but my battered boat
is for the storm ahead
Theme:Quest, Journey & Destination (44)
seene mein jalan
aankhon mein toofan sa kyun hai
is shahr mein har shakhs
pareshaan sa kyun hai
why this burning in the heart
and storm in the eyes
why does everyone in this city
seem so troubled
Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)
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)
saahil ke sukoon se
kise inkaar hai lekin
toofan se laDne mein
mazaa aur hi kuchh hai
who will refuse
the comfort of a safe shore
but the joy of fighting a storm
is something else
mohabbat ko samajhna hai to
naaseh khud mohabbat kar
kinaare se kabhi
andaaza-e-toofan nahi hota
to understand love
you should first fall in love
from the shore, how can you
ever get a sense of the storm
Theme:Miscellany (44)
bacha liya mujhe
toofan ki mauj ne warna
kinaare waale
safina mera Dubo dete
the waves of the storm
saved me, else
those on the shore
would have sunk my boat
