hue naamavar benishaa kaise kaise
zami khaa gayi naujavaan kaise kaise

aaj javaani par itaraanevaale kal pachhataayegaa
aaj javaani par itaraanevaale kal pachhataayegaa
aaj javaani par itaraanevaale kal pachhataayegaa
chadhataa suraj dhire dhire dhalataa hai dhal jaayegaa
chadhataa suraj dhire dhire dhalataa hai dhal jaayegaa
dhal jaayegaa dhal jaayegaa
dhal jaayegaa dhal jaayegaa

tu yahaan musaafir hai ye saraaye faani hai
chaar roj ki mehamaa teri zindagaani hai
zar zami zar zevar kuchh naa saath jaayegaa
khaali haath aayaa hai khaali haath jaayegaa
jaanakar bhi anjaanaa ban rahaa hai divaane
apani umr e faani par tan rahaa hai divaane
kis kadar tu khoyaa hai is jahaan ke mele me
tu khudaa ko bhulaa hai phasake is jhamele me
aaj tak ye dekhaa hai paanevaale khotaa hai
zindagi ko jo samajhaa zindagi pe rotaa hai
mitanevaali duniyaa kaa aitabaar karataa hai
kyaa samajh ke tu aakhir ise pyaar karataa hai
apani apani fikro me
jo bhi hai vo ulajhaa hai
jo bhi hai vo ulajhaa hai
zindagi haqikat me
kyaa hai kaun samajhaa hai
kyaa hai kaun samajhaa hai
aaj samajhale
aaj samajhale kal ye maukaa haath n tere aayegaa
o gafalat ki nid me sonevaale dhokhaa khaayegaa
chadhataa suraj dhire dhire dhalataa hai dhal jaayegaa
chadhataa suraj dhire dhire dhalataa hai dhal jaayegaa
dhal jaayegaa dhal jaayegaa
dhal jaayegaa dhal jaayegaa

maut ne zamaane ko ye samaa dikhaa daalaa
kaise kaise rustam ko khaak me milaa daalaa
yaad rakh sikandar ke hausale to aali the
jab gayaa thaa duniyaa se dono haath khaali the
ab naa vo halaaku hai aur naa usake saathi hai
jag jo na koras hai aur na usake haathi hai
kal jo tanake chalate the apani shaan-o-shaukat par
shamaa tak nahi jalati aaj unaki qurabat par
adanaa ho yaa aalaa ho
sabako laut jaanaa hai
sabako laut jaanaa hai
mufhiliso kaa andhar kaa
kabr hi thikaanaa hai
kabr hi thikaanaa hai
jaisi karani
jaisi karani vaisi bharani aaj kiyaa kal paayegaa
sarako uthaakar chalanevaale ek din thokar khaayegaa
chadhataa suraj dhire dhire dhalataa hai dhal jaayegaa
chadhataa suraj dhire dhire dhalataa hai dhal jaayegaa
dhal jaayegaa dhal jaayegaa
dhal jaayegaa dhal jaayegaa

maut sabako aani hai kaun isase chhutaa hai
tu fanaa nahi hogaa ye khayaal jhuthaa hai
saans tutate hi sab rishte tut jaayege
baap maan bahan bivi bachche chhut jaayege
tere jitane hai bhaai vaqatakaa chalan dege
chhinakar teri daulat dohi gaz kafan dege
jinako apanaa kahataa hai sab ye tere saathi hai
kabr hai teri mazil aur ye baraati hai
laa ke kabr me tujhako muradaa bak daalege
apane haathose tere munh pe khaak daalege
teri saari ulfat ko khaak me milaa dege
tere chaahanevaale kal tujhe bhulaa dege
is liye ye kahataa hun khub sochale dil me
kyun phasaaye baithaa hai jaan apani mushkil me
kar gunaaho pe taubaa
aake bas sambhal jaaye
aake bas sambhal jaaye
dam kaa kyaa bharosaa hai
jaane kab nikal jaaye
jaane kab nikal jaaye
mutthi baandhake aanevaale
mutthi baandhake aanevaale haath pasaare jaayegaa
dhan daulat jaagir se tune kyaa paayaa kyaa paayegaa
chadhataa suraj dhire dhire dhalataa hai dhal jaayegaa
chadhataa suraj dhire dhire dhalataa hai dhal jaayegaa
chadhataa suraj dhire dhire dhalataa hai dhal jaayegaa
chadhataa suraj dhire dhire dhalataa hai dhal jaayegaa

How many names, once famed, now lost to dust?
How many youths, the earth has swallowed up?

You, who boast of youth, will weep tomorrow,
The rising sun descends, a fading sorrow,
It fades away, it fades away, it fades away.

A traveler here, a fleeting caravan,
Your life, a guest, a breath, a mortal span.
Wealth, lands, and jewels, will follow you no more,
Empty-handed you came, and leave the shore.
Knowing, yet unknowing, you play the fool,
Inflated pride, within this fading pool,
Lost in the world's fair, a dizzying array,
You've forgotten God, in this chaotic play.
I've seen it always, the seeker finds alloy,
The one who grasps at life, will weep and destroy.
You trust a world that's meant to disappear,
Why do you love it, fueled by doubt and fear?
Each lost in their own thoughts,
Entangled and confined,
What is life's true nature,
Who truly understands its design?
Understand today,
For tomorrow's chance will slip away,
O sleeper in your slumber, you'll be betrayed,
The rising sun descends, a fading sorrow,
It fades away, it fades away, it fades away.

Death showed the world this somber scene,
How many heroes, turned to dust between.
Remember Alexander, his ambitions grand,
When he departed, empty was his hand.
No more is Hulagu, nor his comrades near,
Nor Jag, nor Cyrus, their presence held so dear.
They strutted with their pride, their pomp and show,
No light remains, where once their glory did glow.
Low or high born,
All must return to dust,
The pauper's inner space,
The grave, their only trust.
As you sow, so shall you reap, today you do, tomorrow you'll hold dear,
The one who walks with head held high, will stumble, consumed by fear.
The rising sun descends, a fading sorrow,
It fades away, it fades away, it fades away.

Death comes to all, from its grasp, who can flee?
You are not lost, that thought, a fallacy.
With breath’s last gasp, all bonds will break apart,
Father, mother, sister, wife, the broken heart.
Your brothers, sisters, time will steal away,
Taking your wealth, giving only shroud's gray.
Those you call your own, your fleeting company,
Your grave is your journey's end, their final decree.
Into the grave, they'll cast you, still and cold,
With their own hands, your face, the dust will hold.
Your earthly loves, they'll grind to dust and ash,
Tomorrow, those who loved you, they will pass.
Therefore, I tell you, ponder this within,
Why do you entangle your soul within sin?
Repent your sins and turn,
Come back and find your way,
No one knows when the breath,
Will turn to yesterday.
Clenching hands you came,
Clenching hands will you depart,
From wealth and lands you gathered, what's left, what's been your part?
The rising sun descends, a fading sorrow,
