Lyrics
Ek Akela Is Shahar Mein Raat Mein Aur Dopahar Mein
Aaboodaana Dhoondta Hai Aashiyana Dhoondta Hai
Din Khali Khali Bartan Hai Aur Raat Hai Jaise Andha Kuan
Inn Sooni Andheri Aankhon Se Aansoon Ki Jagah Aata Hain Dhuan
Jeene Ki Wajah To Koyi Nahi Marne Ka Bahana Dhoondta Hai
In Umra See Lambi Sadkon Ko Manzil Pe Pohonchte Dekha Nahin
Bas Daudti Phirti Rahti Hain Humne To Thheherte Dekha Nahin
Is Ajnabi Say Shahar Mein Jaana Pehechana Dhoondta Hai
एक अकेला इस शहर में, रात में और दोपहर में
आबूदाना ढूंढ़ता है आशियाना ढूंढ़ता है
दिन खाली खाली बर्तन है और रात है जैसे अंधा कुआँ
इन सुनी अँधेरी रातों में आंसू कि जगह आता है धुआं
जीने कि वज़ह तो कोई नहीं मरने का बहाना ढूंढ़ता है
इन उम्र सी लम्बी सड़कों को मंज़िल पे पोहचते देखा नहीं
बस दौड़ती फिरती रहती है हमने तो ठहरते देखा नहीं
इस अजनबी से शहर में जाना पहचाना ढूंढ़ता है

UNDERSTANDING "LONELINESS" in English.
Translation.
A lone soul in this town, during daytime or at sundown.
Searches for his ration, is looking for his home .
Days are but empty wares and nights are blind wells.
From these blank dark eyes comes smoke rather tears.
There is no reason to live finds an alibi to die.
These roads which stretch like ages, never saw them to reach terminus.
They just run and roam, never saw them to halt for once.
In this unknown town is looking for a known face.
