khali pyala dhundhla darpan
khali khali man
bujhta suraj jalta chanda
patjhari sawan, patjhari sawan
khali pyala dhundhla darpan
khali khali man, khali khali man

patte pile kaante phule
registani tan raate suni
pida duni virana jivan
patte pile kaante phule
registani tan raate suni
pida duni virana jivan
virana jivan
khali pyala dhundhla darpan
khali khali man, khali khali man

kya hai savera tapti duphari
godhuli nirjan aankhe jaagi
khoyi sihran khoya apnapan

patjhari sawan, patjhari sawan
khali pyala dhundhla darpan
khali khali man, khali khali man
khali khali man

A hollow cup, a clouded glass,
A vacant soul, where shadows pass.
The sun descends, the moon ablaze,
A withered monsoon, through dying days.
A hollow cup, a clouded glass,
A vacant soul, emptiness.

The leaves turn gold, the thorns now bloom,
A desert body, filled with gloom.
Pain redoubled, life a waste,
The leaves turn gold, the thorns now graced.
A desert body, nights of dust,
Pain redoubled, fading trust.
A life forlorn.

A hollow cup, a clouded glass,
A vacant soul, where shadows pass.

What dawn remains, a scorching noon,
A twilight lost, beneath the moon?
Awake the eyes, in desolate space,
Lost shivers gone, a vanished grace.
What dawn remains, a scorching noon,
A twilight lost, beneath the moon?
Lost self, unknown.

A hollow cup, a clouded glass,
A vacant soul, where shadows pass.
The sun descends, the moon ablaze,
A withered monsoon, through dying days.
A hollow cup, a clouded glass,
A vacant soul, emptiness.
Emptiness.
