TALAASH
Yeh mohabbat ki zubaan, koi kaise na samjhe,
Yeh aankhen jo sirf tumhare liye tarse.
Yeh lamha, yeh judaai, aur kitni der,
Tera kinara mujhe samandar ki tarah kheenchta hai, aur tu mujhse mileon door bhagta hai.
Yeh lukka chhupi, kabhi to khatm karo,
Mere aankhon par tumhari nazron ki barsaat to karo.
Mere hothon pe tumhare hothon ka daawa to karo,
Mere kandhe ko apna sahara to do.
Jiski talaash mein mera dil hataash hai,
Woh tum ho, iski wajah tum ho
Iss ghalti ka iqraar to ho,
Aur baandho humare dil ke dhaage,
Samet kar rakh do mere aage.
Na tu mujhe dekhe, na mera khayal tujhe aaye,
Tu apne liye kafi, aur main bhatakta musaafir ki tarah.
Kabhi to hamara yeh daud-bhaag khatm hoga,
Aur kabhi to hamare dariyaon ke safar milenge.
This language of love, how can it go unheard?
These eyes that yearn only for you.
This moment, this separation, and how long it lingers,
Your shore pulls me like the ocean, yet you run far from me.
This hide-and-seek, end it someday,
Let your gaze rain upon my eyes.
Let your lips claim mine,
Let my shoulder be your support.
The one my heart longs for in despair,
That is you, and you are the reason.
Confess this mistake,
And tie together the threads of our hearts,
Gather them and keep them before me.
Neither you see me, nor think of me,
You are enough for yourself, and I wander like a lost traveler.
Someday this race between us will end,
And someday the journeys of our rivers will meet.
