The Fight

Sep 18, 2004

Hum RahaiN na RahaiN
Life will move on
Life will find ways
To Forget

Safar-e-hayat mumkin nahiN
Feels like its time to give up
This is the season of 's
The journey's end

Guzaray waqt kay sayay
The trembling memories scream
Pulling us back
From the precipice

Wohh jo bichRay yaar chooth gayay
Smiling at us from afar
The faces of yore plead in whispers
Come Back

Mat jao kay baqi haiN kuch lamhay
And we look up for rain
To drench interminable thirst
For a reason to exist

Hai yeh jang zindagi ki mot say
Man will find a reason to live
In the most desolate desert of life
There will always be a worthy fight

Kiya tum tayar ho oos jang ka liyay
The one that would let you leave a mark
On the sands of time, remembering
all who fought and fell

Bulaati haiN tum ko woh rahaiN
The ones you avoided
The ones you feared to tread
Smile and do not fear

The battle is about to begin
Neem tareek rahouN ki jang

Inspired by Faiz's Hum jo tareekh rahoun mein maray gayay and does not even crawl in the shadows of that awesome poem
