zindagi yu huyi basar tanha
zindagi yu huyi basar tanha
kaafila sath aur safar tanha
zindagi yu huyi basar tanha

apne saaye se chauk jate hain
apne saaye se chauk jate hain
umar gujri hai is kadar tanha
umar gujri hai is kadar tanha

raat bhar bolte hain sannate
raat bhar bolte hain sannate
raat kaate koi kidhar tanha
raat kaate koi kidhar tanha

din gujarta nahi hai logo me
din gujarta nahi hai logo me
raat hoti nahi basar tanha
raat hoti nahi basar tanha

humne darwaje tak to dekha tha
humne darwaje tak to dekha tha
phir na jane gaye kidhar tanha
phir na jane gaye kidhar tanha
kaafila sath aur safar tanha
zindagi yu huyi basar tanha

Life unfolded, a solitary plight,
Life unfolded, a solitary plight,
A caravan near, yet the journey, night.
Life unfolded, a solitary plight.

Startled by shadows that cling so near,
Startled by shadows that cling so near,
A life consumed, in loneliness's tear.
A life consumed, in loneliness's tear.

Silence speaks through the endless night,
Silence speaks through the endless night,
How does one endure, devoid of light?
How does one endure, devoid of light?

Days pass, amidst the throng, unseen,
Days pass, amidst the throng, unseen,
The night refuses to convene,
The night refuses to convene.

We watched the door, that parting gleam,
We watched the door, that parting gleam,
Then vanished, lost within a dream.
Then vanished, lost within a dream.
A caravan near, yet the journey, night.
Life unfolded, a solitary plight.
