Aaj puraanee raaho se
koee mujhe aavaaz na de
ḍarḍ me ḍoobe geet na de
gam kaa sisakataa saaz na de
Beete dino kee yaad thee jiname
mai vo taraane bhool chukaa
Aaj naee manzil hai meree
kal ke ṭhikaane bhool chukaa
Na vo dil na sanam
na vo deen-dharam
Ab doour hoo saare gunaaho se
Jeevan badalaa duniyaa badalee
man ko anokhaa gyaan milaa.
Aaj mujhe apane hee dil me
ek nayaa insaan milaa
Pahuchaa hoo vahaa
nahee door jahaa
bhagavaan kee nek nigaaho se
Ṭooṭ chuke sab pyaar ke bandhan
aaj koee zanjeer naheen
Sheeshaa-e-dil me aramaano kee
aaj koee tasveer nahee
Ab shaad hoo mai
aazaad hoo mai
kuchh kaam nahee hai aaho se
No more should anyone from my earlier life call on me! No one should give me painful songs or sad stories; No sad stories no tears.
These memories have all been forgotten, even the stories, events, and melodies have been forgotten. Today I set myself a new destination and have given up all the old destinations’ goals. Neither the heart nor the love; neither faith nor religion; today I am far away from all types of wrong-doing.
Life now changes and the world changes as well. My soul now has new knowledge. Today I am a new person. Now even God is not away from my vision.
All bondage of love is shattered; now there is no duty or compulsion. A heart of glass has no desires, no image of desire. I am now independent and happy and free, no regrets at this time.
Mohammed Rafi; Movie: Loafer (1973)
