Shaayad Main Zindagi Ki Sehar (Jagjit Singh)
Perhaps I arrive heralding the dawn of life today
Ushering the murderer into my own house today
All life I rummaged for the elusive destination of love
I come adorned therefore in the dust of every lane and alley
A lancet in my hand the tavern flung over my shoulders
Lo!! The messiah comes with the panacea of heart-ache today
Fakir I’d not have returned back to the idol-temple again,
But for a wound that had healed and to have it ripped open today
================================
Shayad main zindagi ki sahar le ke aa gaya
Qaatil ko aaj apne hi ghar le ke aa gaya
Taa-Umr Dhundta raha manzil main ishq ki
Anjaam Ye ke garde safar le ke aa gaya
Nashtar hai mere haath mein kaandhon pe maikada
Lo main ilaaze dard-e-jigar le ke aa gaya
Fakir sanam kade mein na aata main lautkar
Ik zakhm bhar gaya tha idhar le ke aa gaya
