جستجو

جستجو نام کمانے کی

جستوکچھ کر دکھانے کی

جستجو تم سے نطر ملانے کی

جستجو تئمھیں اپنانے کی

جستجوٹھکانا بنانے کی

جستجو اک آشیانے کی

جستجو مال کمانے کی

جستجواپنا مقام بنانے کی

جستجو تلاش سکون قلب کی

جستجو اپنے رب کو منانے کی

جستجوہی میں کٹی عمر اپنی

جستجو رہی پورے زمانے کی

Justaju naam kamaney ki

Justaju kuch kar dikhane ki

Justaju tumse nazar milne ki
Justaju tumhe apnane ki

Justaju thikaney banae ki
Justaju ek aashiyane ki

Jutaju maal kaameny ki
Justaju apna maqam bane ki

Justaju talash-e-sakoon qalb ki
Justaju apne rab ko manane ki

Justau hi mein kati umer apne
Justaju rahey poorey zamane ki

Story of a Syrian Orphan

Those eyes with forever love for me
Those eyes that saw me grow young and free

Those eyes that protected me from all evil
Like the shade of an immense oak tree

Those eyes where I could now see dread and fear
As war approached our land and we had to flee

Those eyes grew even more frightful
With the prospect of our dinghy crossing the mighty sea

Those eyes will be shut for me forever
Our boat broke and deaf ears fell on our rescue plea

Farewell papa, farewell my loving dad
Starting a new life in a new land, I certainly feel no glee.

Facade

We live in a world of facades
A facade of equality and people caring for it
A facade for empathy and of humanity
A facade of justice and rights and provisions
A facade of love, friendship, emotions and trust

What's not a facade are desires
Selfish, self satisfying desires.
Desires that drive this world and all the ills in it

Alas! this is the world we live in!!
