The wanderer

I have wandered long into the nights,
returning into the withered sunshine
when dreams I created chased me away,
and then I have wandered long into the day.

To keep a little sun

If the sun decides to break in two parts,
will you keep one for yourself my neighbour
and i shall hide mine too..

I will use my part when you sleep
and you will do the same i think,
but when shall there be night, can you tell..

The space we have is not enough
to keep a little sun, and live alone..

Let the world keep a half my neighbour
we can share one piece alright..
there has always been a common day.

The sun shall not be divided by us..
Under it we will plough this earth together,
and the trees of our forefathers will smile.

barsaat

kal raat-bhar bheega main

shuru shuru ki iss barsaat mein

mere zahan tak bheega maik

tere khayaal sang bheega main.

aangan mein khada rahkar

sirf tera naam lekar

tere naam sang bheega main

kal raat-bhar bheega main.

dheemi dheemi si hawa thi

khushboo teri laa rahi

har saans tak bheega main

tere ahsaas tak bheega main.

barsaat se kaha tha maine

tujhe bula kar le aaye

tere intezaar mein bheega main

kal raat-bhar bheega main.

in the rain.

The air drifts easy

all earth is busy,

let me walk away

quietly from this world,

in the silent gust.

I'd waited for long

for the rain to come along,

let me fly away

to inhale purity,

in the dissolved sky.

Rain is falling down

I want to drown,

let me fall away

and then disappear,

in the forsaken time.

Sliding drops of pain

i feel against window pane,

let me melt away

there's no one to see,

in the wet earth.

Water splashes over my face

life exists at different place,

let me fade away

with this rainy night,

in the black clouds.

Rain has called me

to meet my destiny,

let me pass away

without telling this life,

in the rain.
