jab mai soya rehta
tu hi mujhe aake kehta
aadhi zindagi hai andhera
baki zindagi hai savera
tu andhere me laye subah
ho kesra kesra kesra

waqt yeh tere pichhe
mai daudu uss ke pichhe
waqt ka hu mai ik chela
wo chhine zindagi mai akela
par tu hi to zindagi deta
ho kesra kesra kesra
kesra kesra

When slumber held my form,
Your voice, a whisper in the storm,
"The half-life dwells in shades of night,"
"The other half, a dawning light."
You bring the dawn where darkness reigns,
Oh, Saffron, Saffron, in my veins.

Time’s current, flowing ever free,
I chase its shadow desperately,
A humble servant of its decree,
It steals my life, and leaves just me.
Yet, life itself, from you descends,
Oh, Saffron, Saffron, life transcends,
Saffron, Saffron.
