khila khila tha samma
jab pyar hua tha hamko
aur achnak kale badal yu cha gaye
dundali hui duniya bikhare sapne
aur nahi ab sehna
aur nahi ab chalna
kab mai ha mai udd jau
dur kahi dur dur kahi

ek ujhala aasamn me fir chaya
hamare bache ne maine sab paya
par khushiya bhi hai ek maya
mitta fir se vo saya
laut aaya vapas vo sunapan
kya ant hoga is agniprikasha ka
dil chahe ham sath rahe hardam
na jane puri kab hogi ye aasha
aur nahi ab sehana
aur nahi ab chalna
kab mai ha mai udd jau
dur kahi dur dur kahi
dur kahi dur dur kahi

Behind this mask, how long shall I tread,
pausing, halting, shadows overhead?
Tired, I fall, who will lift the frail breeze?

A flame bloomed, radiant and bold,
when love's story began to unfold.
Then sudden, dark clouds, a looming dread,
the world blurred, dreams scattered, now dead.
No more bearing, no more I’ll roam,
when will I fly, far away from home?

A light then emerged in the heavens above,
our children, I found, all that I love.
But joy too, a trick, a woven maze,
the shadow dissolves, in a haze.
The emptiness returns, a silent tomb.

What end to this fire will there be?
My heart yearns, forever with thee.
When will this hope reach its sweet decree?
No more bearing, no more I’ll roam,
when will I fly, far away from home?
Far away, far away, far away, far away.
