koi dar sa jaye koi kar dikhaye jalwa
koi sar jhuka ke koi sar utha ke yaha pe chala
koi dar sa jaye koi kar dikhaye jalwa
koi marna jane koi karna jane jara hausla
hai bhid mein lapta, hai aadmi puchhta
kya hai khushi ka pata yaha

dil pe roj ke lakho bojh se
mil ke soch le aa jao honge kam ye kaise
bante roj yaha pe nakshe koi na kisi ko bhi bakshe
dono haatho se hi lute yaha sabhi aadmi
kaisa ye kaam hai
khaas na ho saka aadmi kyun aam hai yaha
koi dar sa jaye koi kar dikhaye jalwa
koi sar jhuka ke koi sar utha ke yaha pe chala
koi dar sa jaye koi kar dikhaye jalwa
koi marna jane koi karna jane jara hausla
koi dar sa jaye koi kar dikhaye jalwa
koi sar jhuka ke koi sar utha ke yaha pe chala
koi dar sa jaye koi kar dikhaye jalwa
koi marna jane koi karna jane jara hausla

thoda matlabi hai thoda lalchi hai
banda jo ye maane farj bhi hai koi dhanda
de de mere haath mein duniya
lauta dunga main sabko khushiya
jaha ye paayega mitha sa tarana pyar ka
de hausla sath mein le aaunga dhundh ke
dhup ko main raat mein yaha
koi dar sa jaye koi kar dikhaye jalwa
koi sar jhuka ke koi sar utha ke yaha pe chala
koi dar sa jaye koi kar dikhaye jalwa
koi marna jane koi karna jane jara hausla

A shadow shrinks, a glimmer takes its stand,
Some bow their heads, some rise, across the land.
A shadow shrinks, a glimmer takes its stand,
Some know to die, some dare to understand.

Lost in the throng, a human cries aloud,
Where does joy reside, amidst this crowded shroud?

A million burdens daily weigh the heart,
Together let us ponder, how to play our part.
Each day a new design, no mercy spared,
With both hands they plunder, a fate we've all shared.
What is this act, this twisted, broken art?
Why can’t the special soul, be common at the start?
A shadow shrinks, a glimmer takes its stand,
Some bow their heads, some rise, across the land.
A shadow shrinks, a glimmer takes its stand,
Some know to die, some dare to understand.
A shadow shrinks, a glimmer takes its stand,
Some bow their heads, some rise, across the land.
A shadow shrinks, a glimmer takes its stand,
Some know to die, some dare to understand.

A touch of self, a hunger for more,
This being believes duty and business are at war.
Give me the world, within my eager hold,
And back to all, I'll return stories untold.
Where sweet melodies of love will bloom and grow,
I'll bring the sun, and to the night will go.
And with courage, I'll search with care,
A shadow shrinks, a glimmer takes its stand,
Some bow their heads, some rise, across the land.
A shadow shrinks, a glimmer takes its stand,
Some know to die, some dare to understand.
