dunia ke gorakh dhandhe se tu dar ke bhage kyu
choro ka dhumdhadaka kis parchand ko bhape tu
apna na koi paraya khud ko kis ka mane tu
kho jayega is jangle me ek andha sa prani tu

aaye koi yaha jo phir se jee jeele
chhod sharam tu bhi ek jaam peele
gardisho me hai tere sitare aaj ye pal tu bhi jeele
sanni si sanso se khud ko sambhale
aa hi gaya hai to ek jaam peele
darta rahega to jeeyega kab tu aaj ye pal tu bhi jeele

aaj uthake jo kadam jo tu aa hi gaya jo tu aa hi gaya
pichhe na hatna jo hona hai ho jayega
jo agar jindagi tujhko chhu le
maut ki raho se tujhko bachale aaj ye pal tu bhi jeele
sahmi si sanso se khud ko sambhale
aa hi gaya hai to ek jaam peele
darta rahega to jeeyega kab tu aaj ye pal tu bhi jeele

Why flee, afraid of the world's maze?
Whose wild storm do you sense, in this thieves' haze?
Whose is yours, whose is not, in this desolate phase?
Lost in this jungle, a blind creature's ways.

If one returns, let life be reborn,
Leave your shame, and drink a brimming horn.
Your stars are in turmoil, this moment's morn,
Calm yourself with breaths that are withdrawn.
Since you've arrived, drink a brimming horn,
When will you live, if you are always forlorn?

Today you have stepped, you have arrived, have arrived,
Do not retreat, let what must be, be derived.
If life should touch you, let it then,
From death's pathways, your heart retrieve,
Calm yourself with breaths that grieve,
Since you've arrived, drink a brimming horn,
When will you live, if you are always forlorn?
