Reaching for the Sky

I am lost
I suppose I always was
Never knew or know
Whether I am on terra firma
Or a star staring down
Tormented by what I see
Down on earth

Aye Gham-e-dil Kya Karoon
Singer: Talat Mahmoud 

shahar ki raat aur main naashaad-o-naakaara firoon 
jagamagaati jaagatee, sadakon pe aavaara firoon 

ai gam-e-dil kya karu 
ai vahashat-e-dil kya karu
kya karu, kya karu 
ai gam-e-dil kya karu 

ye roopahali chhaanv ye aakaash par taaron ka jaal 
jaise soofi ka tasavvur, jaise aashiq ka khayaal 
aah lekin kaun samajhe, kaun jaane dil ka haal 
ai gam-e-dil kya karu ... 

raaste mein ruk ke dam loon, ye meri aadat nahi 
laut kar vaapas chala jaaun meri fitarat nahi 
aur koi hamanava mil jaaye ye qismat nahi 
ai gam-e-dil kya karu ... 

ai gam-e-dil kya karu
ai vahashat-e-dil kya karu
kya karoon, kya karu
ai gam-e-dil kya karu

mujhako qismat ne banaya, gandale pani ka kanval 
kak mein mil mil gae sab, arazu ke ye mahal 
kya khabar thi yun meri taqadir jaegi badal 
ai gam-e-dil ... 

ruthane vale kisi, majabur se ruthega kya 
jis tarah qismat ne luta, yun koi lutega kya 
ye mere tute hue dil, aur tu tutega kya 
ai gam-e-dil ...
