Walking in the rain

Ek Akela Is Shahar Mein Raat Mein Aur Dopahar Mein
Aabodaana Dhoondta Hai Aashiyana Dhoondta Hai

Din Khali Khali Bartan Hai Aur Raat Hai Jaise Andha Kuan
In Sooni Andheri Aankhon Se Aansoon Ki Jagah Aata Hain Dhuan
Jeene Ki Vajah To Koi Nahi Marne Ka Bahana Dhoondta Hai
Ek Akela Is Shahar Mein...
(ghazal by Gulzar)

TRANSLATION:
Alone in the city, same in day as well as in night
Searching for grain & water, searching for nest

Day is like an empty pan, night is like deep well
Smoke comes out of the blind eyes instead of tears
No reason to live, still searching for the excuse to die
Alone in the city
