ek taraf jal raha deepak
ek taraf jale mera dil
jal jal ke ye jeena kaisa re
jo marne se bhi mushkil
jo marne se bhi mushkil

meri sajaniya mujhse chhuti
mere man ki aasha mujhse ruthi
meri sajaniya mujhse chhuti
mere man ki aasha mujhse ruthi
mere naino me chhalak gaye aasu re
jaise nabh me taro ki mehfil
jaise nabh me taro ki mehfil

mere piya ne mujhse mukh moda
haye preet ka yarana kab toda haye toda
mere piya ne mujhse mukh moda
haye preet ka yarana kab toda haye toda
yaro dekh ghor andhera chhaye re
mujhe dikhti nahi hai manzil
mujhe dikhti nahi hai manzil

thi jinse mujhe itni aasha
rakh gaye jigar ko wo pyasa haye pyasa
thi jinse mujhe itni aasha
rakh gaye jigar ko wo pyasa haye pyasa
har sans pukare meri piya piya re
mere pritam abhi to aake mil
pyare pritam abhi to aake mil
ek taraf jal raha deepak
ek taraf jale mera dil
jal jal ke ye jeena kaisa re
jo marne se bhi mushkil
jo marne se bhi mushkil

A lamp flickers on one side,
My heart, it burns, a fiery tide.
To live like this, consumed by flame,
More difficult than death's cold claim,
More difficult than death's cold claim.

My love has left, my hope now gone,
My heart's desires, the dawn withdrawn.
My love has left, my hope now gone,
My heart's desires, the dawn withdrawn.
Tears well within my weary eyes,
Like stars that weep across the skies,
Like stars that weep across the skies.

My love has turned his face from me,
Alas, when did our love cease to be,
My love has turned his face from me,
Alas, when did our love cease to be,
Friends, see the darkness close me in,
My path, in shadows, cannot win,
My path, in shadows, cannot win.

Those from whom I sought such grace,
Left my heart with empty space,
Those from whom I sought such grace,
Left my heart with empty space,
Each breath now cries, "Beloved, come!"
My love, dear one, before I'm numb,
My love, dear one, before I'm numb.
A lamp flickers on one side,
My heart, it burns, a fiery tide.
To live like this, consumed by flame,
More difficult than death's cold claim,
More difficult than death's cold claim.
