kon si manjil pe ye dil aa gaya
kon si manjil pe ye dil aa gaya
sham se pehle andhera chha gaya
sham se pehle andhera chha gaya
kon si manjil pe ye dil aa gaya

dil chirago ki tarha kab tak jale
dil chirago ki tarha kab tak jale
aur mohabbat teri mehak se chale
pyar karne ki saza dil pa gaya
sham se pehle andhera chha gaya
sham se pehle andhera chha gaya
kon si manjil pe ye dil aa gaya

aaj apne bhi paraye ho gaye
aaj apne bhi paraye ho gaye
karva manjil pe aakar kho gaye
dubi kashti jab kinara aa gaya
sham se pehle andhera chha gaya
sham se pehle andhera chha gaya
kon si manjil pe ye dil aa gaya

jal rahe hai kaise diwane gam
jal rahe hai kaise diwane gam
khud shama hai khud parwane
hosh itna hai ke ab hosh aa gaya
sham se pehle andhera chha gaya
sham se pehle andhera chha gaya
kon si manjil pe ye dil aa gaya

What shore has my heart arrived upon?
What shore has my heart arrived upon?
Darkness descends before the evening's dawn,
Darkness descends before the evening's dawn,
What shore has my heart arrived upon?

How long can the heart burn like lamps alight?
How long can the heart burn like lamps alight?
And walk on fragrance of your love's might,
The penalty of love, my heart has won,
Darkness descends before the evening's dawn,
Darkness descends before the evening's dawn,
What shore has my heart arrived upon?

Today, even my own have turned away,
Today, even my own have turned away,
The caravan lost at the journey's bay,
When the ship sank, the shore was begun,
Darkness descends before the evening's dawn,
Darkness descends before the evening's dawn,
What shore has my heart arrived upon?

How the lovers of sorrow are burning now,
How the lovers of sorrow are burning now,
The candle itself, the moth somehow,
Aware enough, awareness has come,
Darkness descends before the evening's dawn,
Darkness descends before the evening's dawn,
What shore has my heart arrived upon?
