jalane ke siwaa aur kyaa hai yahaan
chaahe dil ho kisi kaa yaa ho diyaa
yaa ho diyaa
jalane ke siwaa aur kyaa hai yahaan

har raat diyaa jal-jal ke bujhe -2
dil roz pukaare piyaa-piyaa
piyaa-piyaa
jalane ke siwaa aur kyaa hai yahaan

bachapan se tumhi se prit lagi
ab alag jawaani bit rahi
jab paas the tumako pyaar kiyaa -2
ab dur huye to tarase jiyaa -2
jalane ke siwaa aur kyaa hai yahaan

hai rain ghiri par chain nahi -2
ye man hai kahi aur nain kahi -2
jabase tum bichhad gaye hamane -2
phaagun me machalanaa chhod diyaa
jalane ke siwaa aur kyaa hai yahaan

To burn, is all that's left to do,
Be it a heart, or a lamp’s soft hue,
Or a lamp’s soft hue.
To burn, is all that’s left to do.

Each night, the lamp burns, then fades away - 2
The heart calls out, “Beloved, oh, stay!”
Beloved, oh, stay!
To burn, is all that’s left to do.

Since childhood, my love was only for you,
Now youth departs, a different view.
When close, I gave love, it's true - 2
Now far, the soul aches, through and through - 2
To burn, is all that’s left to do.

Night surrounds, but peace feels untrue - 2
This mind is elsewhere, eyes see anew - 2
Since you departed, I - 2
Have left the spring's wild dance behind, too.
To burn, is all that's left to do.
