You have travelled to the places unknown

Have marched upon the deserts all alone

Written stories to ignite an enduring fire

Have played freedom tunes upon your lyre

Fallen into the pit of your own art

O Musafir, will your true journey ever start?

 

Love beckons you from the lands afar

Your muse awaits you to heal your scar

An infatuation or an alluring lust

Your ship craves for an impelling thrust

Once a passion now only madness

O Musafir, why so much sadness?

 

Listen to the sweet songs of your heart

Stack the journeys that have fallen apart

Tread amid the winter, do not grieve

Rise from the dust, simply believe

Ignite a flame of a promising prophecy

O Musafir, scorch an undying legacy

 

Based on the protagonist of A Thousand Unspoken Words by Paulami Duttagupta
