THESE PATHS UNKNOWN!
Qismat ne woh Thokar maarii
THE FATE DEALT ME SUCH A KICK
dil kaa shiishaa, TuuT gayaa
THAT SHATTERED MY FRAGILE HEART
pyar kii mehfil raas naa aayii
LOVE’S BASH JUST DIDN’T SUIT ME,
yaar kaa daaman chhuuT gayaa
MY GAL’S HEM SLIPPED OUTTA MY HANDS...
Qismat ne woh Thokar maarii
THE FATE DEALT ME SUCH A KICK

THAT SHATTERED MY FRAGILE HEART
pyar kii mehfil raas naa aayii
LOVE’S BASH JUST DIDN’T SUIT ME,
yaar kaa daaman chhuuT gayaa
MY GAL’S HEM SLIPPED OUTTA MY HANDS,
saaya ban-kar, saath chalegii,
MY SHADOW WILL ESCORT
jeewan bhar yeh, tanhaayii
THIS LONENESS LIFELONG!

aaj merii majbuur
wafaa KHud
TODAY MY COMMITTED FAITH ITSELF
mere liye, ilzaam huii
BECAME AN ACCUSATION FOR ME,
ruuTH gaye haiN geet milan ke
SONGS OF OUR UNION HAVE
MOVED AWAY
dard meN Duubii shaam
huii
THE DUSK HAS DROWNED
IN DISTRESS…
aaj merii majbuur

THE DUSK HAS DROWNED IN DISTRESS

NOW WHO KNOWS WHICH DAY THE BREATH OF THIS ROYAL FLUTE WILL CEASE!
yeh anjaan raaheN
THESE PATHS UNKNOWN
yeh manzil paraayii
THIS STRANGE DESTINATION
mujhe zindagi tuu, kahaaN leke aayii
O LIFE, WHERE HAST THOU LED ME?
