kashmakash hai yahi kya karu kya nahi
kiski manu yaha dil kahi man kahi
rishte hasate hai kabhi kabhi ye gam ke aansu rulate
sapne dikhate hai kabhi kabhi ye nind se hai jagate
chalte chalte jhoka pe thahara thahara aasama
unchi unchi laharo me gahara karava

sach hai kya jhuth kya kya daga kya yaki
kashmakash hai yahi kya karu kya nahi
kiski manu yaha dil kahi man kahi
kashmakash hai yahi kya karu kya nahi
kiski manu yaha dil kahi man kahi
kashmakash hai yahi haa kashmakash hai yahi
haa kashmakash hai yahi

apna banate hai kabhi kabhi ye bhid me chhod jate chhod jate
duri mitate hai kabhi kabhi ye duriya hai badhate duriya
ujale ujale aasma me kali kali badaliya
halke halke aasuo ki bhari bhari dasta
pas kya dur kya kya gaya kya yahi

kashmakash hai yahi kya karu kya nahi
kiski manu yaha dil kahi man kahi
kashmakash hai yahi kya karu kya nahi
kiski manu yaha dil kahi man kahi
kashmakash hai yahi haa kashmakash hai yahi
haa kashmakash hai yahi kashmakash hai yahi

A whirlwind of choices, a shadowed maze,
What path to tread, in life's bewildering haze?
Whose voice to heed, the heart's or mind's decree?

Sometimes relations paint a smile,
Then sorrow's tears flow free for a while.
Dreams they weave, then wake you from your sleep,
On winds of doubt, where promises leap.

High, high waves, with caravans of deep,
What is truth, what falsehood, the secrets to keep.
A whirlwind of choices, a shadowed maze,
What path to tread, in life's bewildering haze?
Whose voice to heed, the heart's or mind's decree?
A whirlwind of choices, a shadowed maze,
A whirlwind of choices, so often it seems.

They embrace, then vanish in the crowd,
Leaving you stranded, where shadows are bowed.
They bridge the distance, then increase the space,
In this endless journey with a fleeting grace.

Pale skies and dark clouds that gather near,
Light tears reveal the burden that you bear.
What is near, what is far, what remains, what is gone?
A whirlwind of choices, a shadowed dawn,
What path to tread, in life's bewildering haze?
Whose voice to heed, the heart's or mind's decree?
A whirlwind of choices, a shadowed maze,
Oh, a whirlwind of choices, so often it seems.
A whirlwind of choices, the whirlwind within.
