na to parvana aur na deewana, main kisi mahfil ka
sooni sooni raahe, thaamti hai baahe gam kise manzil ka

Alone am I in this world's expanse,
My only friend, my shadow's dance.
Alone am I in this world's embrace,
My only friend, my shadow's trace.
Alone am I.

Neither moth to flame, nor lost in revelry,
Untrodden paths, they clutch at me,
Whose heart seeks solace in a final place?
Neither moth to flame, nor lost in revelry,
Untrodden paths, they clutch at me,
Whose heart seeks solace in a final place?
A traveler of the soul's own way,
My only friend, my shadow's sway.
Alone am I in this world's expanse,
My only friend, my shadow's dance.
Alone am I.

As a lone swan leaves a tranquil shore,
So too, my heart, on waves does soar.
As a lone swan leaves a tranquil shore,
So too, my heart, on waves does soar.
Beneath the moon, and stars that pour,
My only friend, my shadow's lore.
Alone am I in this world's expanse,
My only friend, my shadow's dance.
Alone am I.
