itni tadpi yaha machali ki ret jaan gayi
ye hadsa nahi lahro ki bewafayi hai
dhup chav ne mil kar dekho chitkabra sansar de diya
dhup chav ne mil kar dekho chitkabra sansar de diya
dene the jab juthe riste
dene the jab juthe riste man me phir kyo pyar the diya
dhup chav ne mil kar dekho chitkabra sansar the diya

ho ek ankh se haste hai ham par duje se rote hai
par duje se rote hai
palko ne jo sapne pale katra katra rote hai
katra katra rote hai angan bhar akash de diya
angan bhar akash de diya kaid kar liya sanso ko
tajmahal dekar hamko pyar ka ek majaar the diya
dhup chav ne mil kar dekho chitkabra sansar the diya

ho mout hai parchai bhar kewal jeewan ek hakikat hai
jeewan ek hakikat hai
kanto par khil kar khusbu bhi theti ek nasihat hai
theti ek nasihat hai anch jalati hai jab man ko
anch jalati hai jab man ko riste bhi garmati hai
patjhad ne hi to basant ko ek naya sringar the diya

dene the jab juthe riste
dene the jab juthe riste man me phir kyo pyar de diya
dhup chav ne mil kar dekho chitkabra sansar de diya
dhup chav ne mil kar dekho chitkabra sansar de diya
dene the jab juthe riste juthe riste juthe riste
dene the jab juthe riste man me phir kyo pyar de diya
dhup chav ne mil kar dekho chitkabra sansar de diya
dhup chav ne mil kar dekho chitkabra sansar de diya

The sand itself has felt the fish's torment here,
Not fate, but treachery of waves, I fear.
Sun and shadow, hand in hand, a mottled world they've spun,
A mottled world they've spun.
When false ties were all that were to be,
Why plant the seed of love within me?
Sun and shadow, hand in hand, a mottled world they've spun.

One eye laughs at us, the other weeps,
The other weeps.
The dreams the lashes nurtured, weep in drops so deep,
Weep in drops so deep.
The courtyard filled with sky so wide,
Filled with sky so wide.
Confined the breath, with a Taj Mahal of love,
A tomb of love, they did provide.
Sun and shadow, hand in hand, a mottled world they've spun.

Death, a shadow only, life, a truth to hold,
Life, a truth to hold.
Even thorns, blooming, their fragrance told,
Their fragrance told:
When the fire within the heart does burn,
The fire within the heart does burn,
Relationships, they do warm,
The fall, gave spring a vibrant turn.

When false ties were all that were to be,
Why plant the seed of love within me?
Sun and shadow, hand in hand, a mottled world they've spun,
A mottled world they've spun.
When false ties, false ties alone,
When false ties were all that were to be,
Why plant the seed of love within me?
Sun and shadow, hand in hand, a mottled world they've spun,
Sun and shadow, hand in hand, a mottled world they've spun.
