chirag dil ka jalao bahut andhera hai
chirag dil ka jalao bahut andhera hai
kahi se laut ke aao bahut andhera hai
chirag dil ka jalao bahut andhera hai

kaha se laau vo rangat gayi baharo ki
kaha se laau vo rangat gayi baharo ki
tumhare sath gayi roshani nazaro ki
mujhe bhi paas bulao bahut andhera hai
chirag dil ka jalao bahut andhera hai

sitaro tum se andhere kaha sambhalte hai
sitaro tum se andhere kaha sambhalte hai
unhi ke nakshe qadam se chirag jalate hai
unhi ko dhundh ke laao bahut andhera hai
chirag dil ka jalao bahut andhera hai
kahi se laut ke aao bahut andhera hai
chirag dil ka jalao bahut andhera hai
bahut andhera hai, bahut andhera hai

Ignite the lamp within, for shadows reign,
Ignite the lamp within, where darkness strains,
Return, I pray, from paths unseen,
Ignite the lamp within, the dark's domain.

Where now reside the hues of spring's embrace?
Where vanished grace, that lit each loving face?
With you departed, the light that used to gleam,
Draw me close, I implore, where shadows chase,
Ignite the lamp within, the dark's embrace.

O, stars, can you truly banish night's deep hold?
O, stars, your light can never make me whole?
Their footprints guide the flame, a burning quest,
Seek them out, let their memory unfold,
Ignite the lamp within, stories told,
Ignite the lamp within, for shadows reign,
Return, I pray, from paths unseen,
Ignite the lamp within, the dark's domain.
Darkness reigns. Darkness reigns.
