साया

डरता क्यो है, बंदे

मैं तेरे साथ हूं

अकेला समझ मत अपने आप को

तेरा साया मैं

मैं तेरे साथ हूं

किसने क्या गवाया

सब इसका उसका, सब पराया

मैं तेरा साया

सोच मत

How gentle were their love

How sacred were their acts

She’s effervescent, full of flaws
Floats in front of me defining earthly laws

Dancing to the rhythm of my beating heart
Her movement blares away the silence which surrounds my soul

I whisper to myself; the magician
Never seen such an illusion
