chain lene nahi dete hain zamane wale
chain lene nahi dete hain zamane wale
neend le lete hain
neend le lete hain aankho mein samane wale
chain lene nahi dete hain zamane wale
chain lene nahi dete hain zamane wale

kahin tujhko bhi na tadpa de tadapna mera
kahin tujhko bhi na tadpa de tadapna mera
kahin tujhko bhi na tadpa de tadapna mera
mujhko bhule huye gham yaad dilane wale
mujhko bhule huye gham yaad dilane wale
neend le lete hain
neend le lete hain aankho mein samane wale
chain lene nahi dete hain zamane wale

shama mehfil mein jali hain to jale parwane
shama mehfil mein jali hain to jale parwane
shama mehfil mein jali hain to jale parwane
aag paani mein lagate hain lagane wale
aag paani mein lagate hain lagane wale
neend le lete hain
neend le lete hain aankho mein samane wale
chain lene nahi dete hain zamane wale

jab utha mera janazaa to kahan yu rokar
jab utha mera janazaa to kahan yu rokar
jab utha mera janazaa to kahan yu rokar
haye kya uth gaye naazo ke uthane wale
haye kya uth gaye naazo ke uthane wale
neend le lete hain
neend le lete hain aankho mein samane wale
chain lene nahi dete hain zamane wale
zamane wale, zamane wale, zamane wale

The world denies the solace I crave,
The world denies the peace I crave.
They steal the slumber,
They steal the slumber, those who fill my gaze.
The world denies the solace I crave.
The world denies the solace I crave.

Lest my torment, a mirroring ache,
Lest my torment, a mirroring ache,
Lest my torment, a mirroring ache,
Should touch your heart, and make it break.
They bring to mind the forgotten pain,
They bring to mind the forgotten pain.
They steal the slumber,
They steal the slumber, those who fill my gaze.
The world denies the solace I crave.

Though the candle burns, and moths take flight,
Though the candle burns, and moths take flight,
Though the candle burns, and moths take flight,
They set the fire in water's light.
They set the fire, the instigators,
They set the fire, the instigators.
They steal the slumber,
They steal the slumber, those who fill my gaze.
The world denies the solace I crave.

As they lifted my bier, a weeping plea,
As they lifted my bier, a weeping plea,
As they lifted my bier, a weeping plea,
"Alas, the bearers of love are free!"
"Alas, the bearers of love are free!"
They steal the slumber,
They steal the slumber, those who fill my gaze.
The world denies the solace I crave.
The world, the world, the world.
