hue naam oye benishan kaise kaise
zameen kha gayi naujawan kaise kaise
aaj jawani par itaranae wale kal pacthtayega
aaj jawani par itaranae wale kal pacthtayega
chadhta suraj dheere dheere
dhalta hain dhal jayega
chadhta suraj dheere dheere
dhalta hain dhal jayega
chadhta suraj dheere dheere
dhalta hain dhal jayega

tu yahan musafir hain yeh sarah fani hai
chaar roz ki mehmaan teri zindgani hai
teri zindgani hain teri zindgani hai
jan zameen jar zevar kutch na saath jayega
khali haath aaya hain khali haath jayega
khali haath jayega khali haath jayega
jaan kar bhi anjana ban raha hain deewane
apni umrefani par tan raha hain deewane
tan raha hain deewane tan raha hain deewane
is kadar tu khoya hain is jahan ke mele

tu khuda ko bhula hain phas ke is jhamaele mai
aaj tak yeh dekha hain paanewala khota hai
jindagi ko jo samjha jindagi pe rota hai
jindagi pe rota hain jindagi pe rota hai
mitne wali duniya ka aaitbaar karta hai
kya samajh ke tu aakhir isse pyar karta hai
isse pyar karta hain isse pyar karta hai
apne apne fikro mai jo bhi hain woh uljha hai

jo bhi hain woh uljha hai
jindagi haqeeqat main kya hai kaun samjha hai
kya hain kaun samjha hain aaj samajhle
aaj samajhle kal yeh mauka haath na tere aayega
o gaflat ki neend main sone wale dhoka khayega
chadhta suraj dheere dheere dhalta hai dhal jayega
chadhta suraj dheere dheere dhalta hai dhal jayega
dhal jayega dhal jayega dhal jayega dhal jayega
maut ne zamane ko yeh sama dikh dala
kaise kaise us gum ko khak main mila dala
khak main mila dala khak main mila dala

yaad rakh sikander ke hausle to aali the
jab gaya tha duniya se dono haath khali the
dono haath khali the dono haath khali the
apna woh halaku hain aur na uske saathi hain
jung ko chu woh porus hain aur na uske haathi hain
aur na uske haathi hain aur na uske haathi hain
kal jo tanke chalte the apni shano shaukat par
shamma tak nahi jalti aaj unki purbat par
aaj unki purbat par aaj unki purbat par
apna ho ya alla ho sabko laut jaana hain
sabko laut jaana hain sabko laut jaana hain
muflifoh tavundar ka kabra hi thikana hain
kabra hi thikana hain kabra hi thikana hain
jaisi karni
jaisi karni waisi bharni aaj kiya kal payega
sir ko uthakar chalne wale ek din thokar payega

chadhta suraj dheere dheere dhalta hain dhal jayega
chadhta suraj dheere dheere dhalta hain dhal jayega
dhal jayega dhal jayega dhal jayega dhal jayega
maut sabko aani hain kaun isse chuta hain
tu fana nahi hoga yeh khayal jhutha hain
yeh khayal jhutha hain yeh khayal jhutha hain
saans tutate hi sab rishtey tut jaayenge
baap maa behan biwi bachhe choot jayenge
bachhe choot jayenge bachhe choot jayenge

tere jitne hain bhai waqt ka chalan denge
chin kar teri daulat do hi gaj kafan denge
do hi gaj kafan denge do hi gaj kafan denge
jinko apna kehta hain kab yeh tere saathi hain
kabra hain teri mazil aur yeh baraati hain
laake kabra main tujhko urda pak dalenge
apne haathon se tere muh pe khak dalenge
muh pe khak dalenge muh pe khak dalenge
teri saari ulfat ko khak main mila denge
tere chahne wale kal tujhe bhula denge
kal tujhe bhula denge kal tujhe bhula denge

isliye yeh kehta hu khub soch le dil main
kyon phasaye baitha hain jaan apni mushkil main
jaan apni mushkil main jaan apni mushkil main
kar gunaho se tauba aake baat sambhal jaaye
aake baat sambhal jaaye aake baat sambhal jaaye
dum ka kya bharosa hain jaane kab nikal jaaye
jaane kab nikal jaaye jaane kab nikal jaaye
muthhi bandh ke aanewale
muthhi bandh ke aanewale haath pasare jayega
dhan daulat jaagir se tune kya paya kya payega
chadhta suraj dheere dheere dhalta hain dhal jayega
chadhta suraj dheere dheere dhalta hain dhal jayega

The arrogant youth of today, tomorrow, shall weep,
The rising sun slowly descends, it will sleep.
It will sleep, it will sleep.
You are but a traveler, this world a fleeting inn,
Four days of guestship, your life within.
Your life within, your life within.
Wealth and land, jewels of earth, none shall you take,
Empty-handed you came, empty-handed you'll break.
Empty-handed you'll break, empty-handed you'll break.

Knowing, yet blind, you play the fool,
Upon your transient years, you stand so cool.
Stand so cool, stand so cool.
Always it's been seen, the gain turns to loss,
Who grasps at life, weeps at life's cross.
Weeps at life's cross, weeps at life's cross.
You trust a world that's destined to fade,
What is it you love, what choice have you made?
What choice have you made, what choice have you made?
Each caught in their worry, entangled, they see,
Entangled they see, entangled they see.
What life truly means, who truly will be?
Who truly will be?

Understand now,
Understand now, tomorrow this chance is gone,
O sleeper in heedlessness, deceived by the dawn.
The rising sun slowly descends, it will sleep.
It will sleep, it will sleep.
It will sleep, it will sleep.
Death showed to the ages, a vision so stark,
How heroes were crumbled, returned to the dark.
Returned to the dark, returned to the dark.
Remember Alexander, his ambitions so grand,
When leaving the world, empty were his hands.
Empty were his hands, empty were his hands.

Now neither Hulagu nor his companions remain,
Nor the war of Cyrus, nor elephants’ train.
Nor elephants’ train, nor elephants’ train.
Those who once strutted, in power so bright,
No candle now burns, on their tombs in the night.
On their tombs in the night, on their tombs in the night.
Low or high, all must return to the dust,
All must return to the dust, all must return to the dust.
The pauper's dark grave, is their final trust.
Is their final trust, is their final trust.

As you sow,
As you sow, so shall you reap, today's deed, tomorrow's keep,
The proud who walk tall, will stumble and weep.
The rising sun slowly descends, it will sleep.
It will sleep, it will sleep.
It will sleep, it will sleep.
Death comes to all, who can truly evade?
You will not endure, this notion betrayed.
This notion betrayed, this notion betrayed.
With your breath's final gasp, all ties will be severed,
Father, mother, sister, wife, children forever
Children forever, children forever.

Your brothers, will spend time and borrow,
Will seize your wealth, give two yards of sorrow.
Two yards of sorrow, two yards of sorrow.
Those you call your own, your companions so near,
The grave is your home, and these are your bier.
And these are your bier, and these are your bier.
Bringing you to your grave, they'll recite words of the dead,
With their own hands, your face will be spread,
Your face will be spread, your face will be spread.
Your affection all, turned to dust and ash,
Tomorrow, your lovers, will let you pass.
Will let you pass, will let you pass.

Therefore I say, reflect in your soul,
Why entangle your life, in a difficult hole?
In a difficult hole, in a difficult hole.
Repent your sins, and come to be whole,
Come to be whole, come to be whole.
The breath is uncertain, when it may go,
When it may go, when it may go.
Coming with a fist so tight,
Coming with a fist so tight, empty-handed you'll go,
From wealth and lands, what have you gained, what shall you know?
The rising sun slowly descends, it will sleep.
It will sleep, it will sleep, it will sleep.
The rising sun slowly descends, it will sleep.
