hai mauj mein apne begane
hai mauj mein apne begane
do char idhar do char udhar
do char idhar do char udhar
chhalke hai ho ji chhalkate ha chhalkate paimane
do char idhar do char udhar
do char idhar do char udhar

yu aaye ke aafat dhank gaye
matwali ada dikhla ke gaye
matwali ada dikhla ke gaye
sar fod rahe hai deewane
do char idhar do char udhar
do char idhar do char udhar

tuti ummido ke tukade haye
bikhare hai aansu ban ban ke
yu bikhare hai aansu ban ban ke
jaise ki mala ke daane
do char idhar do char udhar
do char idhar do char udhar

lahrati baati kya jane
aape mein nahi hai mastane
aape mein nahi hai mastane
jal jal ke gire hai parwane
haye parwane
do char idhar do char udhar
do char idhar do char udhar

In a sea of self, and the unknown,
In a tide of joy, we're all cast down.
Some here, some there, a fleeting trace,
Some here, some there, in this wandering space.
The goblets overflow, a vibrant flood,
Some here, some there, misunderstood.

They came, a storm, a shadowed grace,
A reckless dance, a fleeting face.
They showed their charm, then slipped away,
Leaving hearts to break and sway.
The mad ones now, in their despair,
Some here, some there, beyond compare.

Shattered hopes, in fragments lie,
Scattered tears, that weep and cry.
They fall like beads, a broken chain,
Some here, some there, in sun and rain.
Like jewels dispersed, a mournful sight,
Some here, some there, lost in the night.

The candle's flame, it cannot know,
The drunken souls that ebb and flow.
Consumed by fire, they fall and burn,
The moths are lost, no lessons learn.
The moths that fall, in fiery grace,
Some here, some there, in time and space.
