Excerpts from the lyrics of the song Gharakh Dhanda - loosely translated
I sought you out, looking at many a place
For a single sight, a mere touch of grace
So many have perished in your pursuit, their
existence erased,
yet to no one, have you left a trace
You do not exist yet emanate through
universe’s every strum
What are you if not a confounding conundrum?
Those lost in your love may be the only
ones to have some hope, some light
While the places of worship remain bereft,
a broken heart offers your sight
If you do not exist, why insist on denying
you?
for rejection too confirms your presence,
That which I call “self” what is it if not
the reflection of your essence?
Had you not presented yourself in my
thoughts, how is it that I concocted of your Omnipresence?
What are you if not a confounding conundrum
This sense of wonder has captured me, a perplexing
painting imbued in meaning
Unable to understand this mystery, this game
you have set up from the beginning
Imprisoning my soul in the prison of this
body, with death as a guard supervening
Guaranteeing free will, like wings to a bird,
you have spread the net of destiny quarantining
After decorating this universe so
beautifully, you have conspired to one day set it ruining.
What are you if not a confounding conundrum
You claim to live beyond time and space..
and still you meddle into the human world
Good, Evil, Heaven and Hell, I wonder what
is the point of these words hurled?
Adam commits the crime, and you punish his progeny,
yet you claim to be the most Just
You gave humanity earth’s vicegerency, despite
the havoc they cause, your judgment we must trust?
To reach you is why you say you created us,
But everyone’s eyes you have kept yourself hidden
from,
What are you if not a confounding conundrum?
