Dhadkano ki Gileriyaan - Zindagi na Milege Dobaara

Pighlay neelam sa behta hua yeh sama,

Neeli neeli si khamoshiyan;

Na kahin hai zameen,

Na kahin aasmaan;

Sarsaraati hui tehniyaan, pattiyaan;

Keh rahi hain ki bas ek tum ho yahaan,

Sirf main hoon, meri saansein hain, aur meri dhadkanein;

Aisi gehraiyaan,

Aisi tanhaiyaan,

Aur main sirf main

Apne honay pe mujhko yaqeen aa gaya…

This moment flows by like liquid sapphire

Silence like the blueness of the sea

No Earth below,

No Sky above.

The rustling of the branches and leaves

Whispering that only you are here

Only me, My breath, and my heartbeat

Depth like this (moment),

Loneliness like this (moment)

And me only me

And now I believe… I exist

Ik baat honton tak hai jo aayi nahi,

Bas ankhon say hai jhaankti,

Tumse kabhi, mujhse kabhi,

Kuch lafz hain woh maangti,

Jinko pehanke honton tak aa jaaye woh,

Aawaaz ki baahon mein baahein daalke ithlaye woh

Lekin jo yeh ik baat hai,

Ehsaas hi ehsaas hai…

Khushboo si hai jaise hawa mein tairti,

Khushboo jo be-aawaaz hai;

Jiska pata tumko bhi hai,

Jiski khabar mujhko bhi hai;

Duniya se bhi chupta nahin,

Yeh jaane kaisa raaz hai.

The truth that almost come to my lips

Is clear from my eyes

Sometimes from you, sometimes from me

It asks for words

To give it structure and come to my lips

To dance in the embrace of my voice

But this truth

Is a feeling, just a feeling…

Like a fragrance it floats in air,

A mute fragrance,

That you know is there,

That I know is there,

And is not hidden from this world,

What kind of secret is this?
