Album: PAIGMABARI(2003)

किताब-ए-जिन्दगी में

किताब-ए-जिन्दगी में, सफ़ें कितने सुनहरे तूने भरे।
या अब भी सफ़े कुछ कोरे है, जैसे कि कलम ही रवाँ ना हुई।।-2

हालात तू जिनसे गुज़रा है, तेरे किस रूतबे को उभारे हैं।
या, कर मुस्तर, तेरे दिल का, मसर्रत-ए-हाल बिगाड़े है।-2

दौरा-ए-ज़ीस्त जान ले, पामर्दी से इन्साँ बनता है।
हर हाल में जो मायूस ना हो, वो फतह को हासिक करता है।।-2

कोरे कागज पे, अब तू अपनी सुखन, बरिन, ऐसी लिख दे।
तवज्जो ही कलम बनकर, हर बाब-ए-जहाँ रोशन कर दे।।-2
किताब-ए-जिन्दगी में, सफ़ें कितने सुनहरे तूने भरे।
या अब भी सफ़े कुछ कोरे है, जैसे कि कलम ही रवाँ ना हुई।।-2

KITAAB-E-ZINDAGI MEIN, SAFEY KITNE SUNEHARE TOONE BHARE x2
YA AB BHI SAFAY KUCHH KORAY HAIN, JAISE KI KALAM HI RAVA NA HUWI.x2
KITAABE ZINDAGI MEIN..



ENGLISH TRANSLATION (A SONG ON INTROSPECTION)

I ASK MYSELF: "HOW MANY GOLDEN PAGES COMPRISE MY BOOK OF LIFE, OR IS IT—— THAT FEW BLANK PAGES STILL REMAIN UNWRITTEN, AS IF I WERE INHIBITED TO WRITE?"

I ASK MYSELF: "FROM MY PAST EXPERIENCES, WHICH OF MY PERSONALITY TRAITS HAS EMERGED TO BE WORTHY OF RECKON, OR IS IT-THAT SHEER DISAPPOINTMENT HAS
SHATTERED THE NATURAL PEACE OF MY INNER BEING"?

WITH DETERMINATION, I EXPRESS: “IT’S ABOUT TIME I REALIZE THE TRUE MEANING OF MY EXISTENCE. IT IS VALOR AND COURAGE OF CONVICTION, THAT MAKES ONE A TRUE HUMAN BEING. ONE WHO IS UNMOVED, UNPERTURBED AND BEARS WITNESS IN ANY SITUATION,
UNDOUBTEDLY EMERGES VICTORIOUS.

I SUGGEST TO MYSELF: “IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO BEGIN. JUST FILL THE REMAINING PAGES OF YOUR BOOK CALLED LIFE, WITH SUBLIME AND SUBTLE POETRY. A POETRY BORN OF AN ATTENTION, WHICH ASSUMES THE ROLE OF ‘A PEN WITH A GOLDEN INK’- WHEN IT WRITES, IT SHALL CERTAINLY ENLIGHTENS EVERY REMAINING CHAPTER OF MY LIFE”.
