jivan dhup chaw ka khel jivan dhup chaw ka khel
dhup chaw ka khel jivan dhup chaw ka khel

kaya hai mati ka khilona mati ka khilona
kaya hai mati ka khilona mati ka khilona
tut gaya to bhi kya rona tut gaya to bhi kya rona
to bhi kya rona hota hai jo kuch hai hona
hota hai jo kuch hai hona sukh dukh has kar jhel
jivan dhup chaw ka khel jivan dhup chaw ka khel

bahti chali samay ki dhara samay ki dhara
bahti chali samay ki dhara bajta sanso ka do tara
bajta sanso ka do tara ye jiwan sangeet hamara
ye jiwan sangeet hamara khatir jan ka mel
jiwan dhup chaw ka khel jiwan dhup chaw ka khel
dhup chaw ka khel jiwan dhup chaw ka khel

A dance of sun and shade, this life,
a dance of sun and shade.

What is this earthen toy?
What is this earthen toy?
If it shatters, why weep?
If it shatters, why weep?
What will be, will be,
What will be, will be,
Embrace joy and sorrow with a smile.
A dance of sun and shade, this life,
a dance of sun and shade.

Time's current flows onward,
Time's current flows onward,
The breath hums a dual song,
The breath hums a dual song,
This is our life's music,
This is our life's music,
For the sake of connection,
For the sake of connection.
A dance of sun and shade, this life,
a dance of sun and shade.
