Yaa meree manzil bataa

Yaa meree manzil bataa
Yaa zindagee ko chheen le
Jiske pichhe gum lage hai
Us khushee ko chheen le

De nahee saktaa agar
Aaram ka ek saȧs bhee
Paaȯ mere toṛ de
Aavaaragee ko chheen le

Aȧkh mė aȧsu kaha
Ro doo jo apne haal par
Aa gayee jo apne gum par
Us hasi ko chheen le

Please tell me what my ultimate destination is, or my life is not worthwhile. Please take away shallow happiness when there is only sorrow underneath.

Let there be no wandering to different places by me if I cannot give you my breath and life.

With tears in my eyes over my own pitiable condition, I come to you although risking the replacement of smiles with sorrow.

Rakhi (1962); Mohammed Rafi
