Na Jaane Kyun...?

Raah-e-dahar par masarrat dhoondhte ho, apna muqaddar dhoondhte ho...
(On the path of life,you look for happiness, you look for your fate/destiny...)
Hasraton ke qafas mein na jaane kyun aaj bhi tum humdard dhoondhte ho?
(I don't know why you look for sympathizers even in the prison of regrets/intense sorrow?)
Fasaana-e-shab-e-gham hai peeche; Zulmat hai tumhare aage...
(The story of a night of sorrows lies behind you, darkness lies before you...)
Aisi fizaaon mein bhi na jaane kyun aaj bhi tum saher dhoondhte ho?
(I don't know why you are in the pursuit of the morning even in such an environment?) Manzilein khud bana kar bhi to raahon mein gum-raah ho jaate ho...
(Even after creating the destinations yourself, you get lost in the paths you created...)
Haram ki raah par phir bhi na jaane kyun nahin chalte ho?
(I don't know why then do you not travel on the path of God's House?) Gam-e-hayaat ki bekasi mein jab itne tanhaa reh jaate ho,
(When you are helplessly stricken with life's grief into the realm of loneliness)
Tab kabhi jazbaa-e-imaan ki rehguzar par na jaane kyun nahin chalte ho?
(Why then don't you ever travel on the path of abiding faith?)

Israar-e-hayaat ~ The Secret of Life

[Translation in brackets... for people who have problems understanding urdu... ]
Israar-e-hayaat ki nahakat hoon main,
(I am the fragrance of the secret of life)
Aagosh-e-tassavur ki taabeer hoon main,
(I am the realization of imagination)
Qissa-e-ulfat se bahot parey hoon main,
(I am detached from the story of love)
Kabhi Zaakir hoon, kabhi kaafir hoon main,
(At times I am a believer, at times a non-believer)
Ehsaas hoon, aab-e-chashm hoon main,
(I am emotions, I am tears)
Bejaan zeest hoon, bechain wajood hoon main,
(I am a lifeless life, I am an impateint existence)
Benaam, bezabaan, beparwah tanhayi hoon main,
(I am a nameless, speechless, indifferent lonliness)
Muqaddar se aagaah, ek zinda mazaar hoon main.
(Aware of my fate, I am a living grave).
