Whereabout within my own self

আপনি আমার কোন্‌খানে
Apni amar konkhane

Whereabout in my own self
Do I wander in His quest?
In shadow-land, He who travels

In many forms and guises,
Will my awareness of Him ever end
Through tears and laughters, who can tell.
Deep within my songs,
Whose lyrics did I discover?
His abode I have since failed to find.
The day slips past, light turns pale;
What does the flute of the pathways impart
In melodies of the evening-Multan*?

*Multan - an evening raaga, or melody in Indian classical music.
