hoti kahan hai dil se judaa
dil ki aarzoo
jaata kahan hai shama ko
parvaana chhoD kar
where does the heart
separate from its own desires?
where does the moth go
leaving the flame behind?

nahi nigah mein manzil
to justaju hi sahi
nahi visaal mayassar
to aarzoo hi sahi
if the destination is not in sight
the quest is the way
if union with the beloved is not possible
just the desire is the way
