chale bhi aao vo hai kabr-e-fani dekhate jao
chale bhi aao vo hai kabr-e-fani dekhate jao
tum apne marne vaale ki nishani dekhate jao
chale bhi aao vo hai kabr-e-fani dekhate jao

abhi kya hai kisi din khub rulaayegi ye khamoshi
abhi kya hai kisi din khub rulaayegi ye khamoshi
zubaan-e-haal ki jaadu bayani dekhate jaao
tum apne marne vaale ki nishani dekhate jao

gurur-e-husn kaa sadka, koi jata hai duniya se
gurur-e-husn kaa sadka, koi jata hai duniya se
kisi ki khaak me milati javani dekhate jao
tum apne marne vaale ki nishani dekhate jao

sune jaate na the tum se mere din raat ke shikave
sune jaate na the tum se mere din raat ke shikave
kafan sarkaao meri bezubaani dekhate jaao
tum apne marne vaale ki nishani dekhate jao

Come, oh come, and see the fleeting tomb, witness it all,
Come, oh come, and see the fleeting tomb, witness it all,
Behold the sign of your departed, before it falls.
Come, oh come, and see the fleeting tomb, witness it all.

Now, it is naught, but silence will one day rend your heart,
Now, it is naught, but silence will one day rend your heart,
See the eloquent tongue of absence, tearing us apart.
Behold the sign of your departed, before it falls.

A sacrifice to beauty's pride, a soul departs this shore,
A sacrifice to beauty's pride, a soul departs this shore,
See youth’s bloom, dissolving into dust, forevermore.
Behold the sign of your departed, before it falls.

My woes, by day and night, you would not hear me plead,
My woes, by day and night, you would not hear me plead,
Lift the shroud, and see my voiceless need.
Behold the sign of your departed, before it falls.
