1 / 10: umr
umr fariyaad mein barbaad gayi
kuch na hua
naala mashhoor ghalat hai ke
asar karta hai
life was wasted in pleas and prayers
and nothing came of it
the popular belief that
laments work...is a lie

main aisi raah pe nikla ki
meri khush-bakhti
tamaam umr meri khoj mein
bhaTakti rahi
i set out on such a path
that my good fortune
kept wandering in search
of me...all my life

turned out, came out

entire, all, whole
life

wandering

ek lamhe mein
bikhar jaata hai taana-baana
aur phir umr guzar jaati hai
yakjaai mein
in a moment
the fabric of life can unravel
and it takes a lifetime
to weave it back together
moment, moments
scatter, disperse
warp and weft, fabric
life
pass through, spent
reweaving, reassembling
