jina to hai par ae dil kaha
jina to hai par ae dil kaha
arey baithu to nahi milti hai zami
mai udana chahu to hai dur aasma
naraz koi na koi meharba
na kahi koi bijli na koi aashiya
naraz koi na koi meharba
na kahi koi bijli na koi aashiya
arey baithu to nahi milti hai zami
mai udana chahu to hai dur aasma
jina to hai par ae dil kaha

jalta hai badan kahi saya nahi
kisi aanchal ke badle hai sulgata dhuya
jalta hai badan kahi saya nahi
kisi aanchal ke badle hai sulgata dhuya
arey baithu to nahi milti hai zami
mai udana chahu to hai dur aasma
jina to hai par ae dil kaha
jina to hai par ae dil kaha

To live, yet where, O heart, to live?
To rest, but earth evades my weary feet.
To soar, yet heaven hangs forever far.
No gaze of grace, no kindly, loving face.
No spark of light, no sanctuary near.
No gaze of grace, no kindly, loving face.
No spark of light, no sanctuary near.
To rest, but earth evades my weary feet.
To soar, yet heaven hangs forever far.
To live, yet where, O heart, to live?

The body burns, no shadow finds its place.
A burning smoke, where once a solace was.
The body burns, no shadow finds its place.
A burning smoke, where once a solace was.
To rest, but earth evades my weary feet.
To soar, yet heaven hangs forever far.
To live, yet where, O heart, to live?
To live, yet where, O heart, to live?
