apne hotho par sajaana chaahta hu
apne hotho par sajaana chaahta hu
aa tujhe main gungunana chahta hu

koi aansu tere daman par gira kar
koi aansu tere daman par gira kar
bund ko moti banana chaahta hu
bund ko moti banana chaahta hu
apne hotho par sajaana chaahta hu

thak gaya main karte karte yaad tujhko
thak gaya main karte karte yaad tujhko
ab tujhe main yaad aana chaahta hu
ab tujhe main yaad aana chaahta hu
apne hotho par sajaana chaahta hu

chha raha hai saari basti me andhera
chha raha hai saari basti me andhera
roshni ko ghar jalaana chaahta hu
roshni ko ghar jalaana chaahta hu
apne hotho par sajaana chaahta hu

aakhiri hichki tere zaano pe aaye
aakhiri hichki tere zaano pe aaye
maut ko bhi shayrana chaahta hu
maut ko bhi shayrana chaahta hu
apne hotho par sajaana chaahta hu
aa tujhe main gungunana chahta hu
apne hotho par sajaana chaahta hu

Upon my lips, I long to place,
Upon my lips, I long to place,
To sing your name, with tender grace.

A tear upon your garment's fold,
A tear upon your garment's fold,
To shape a pearl, a story told.
To shape a pearl, a story told.
Upon my lips, I long to place.

Weary now, from thoughts of you,
Weary now, from thoughts of you,
To be remembered, dreams anew.
To be remembered, dreams anew.
Upon my lips, I long to place.

Darkness falls, the village sleeps,
Darkness falls, the village sleeps,
To set ablaze, where light still weeps.
To set ablaze, where light still weeps.
Upon my lips, I long to place.

The final breath, upon your soul,
The final breath, upon your soul,
To make of death, a poet's role.
To make of death, a poet's role.
Upon my lips, I long to place,
To sing your name, with tender grace.
Upon my lips, I long to place.
