maana meree ai jindagee tha teraa sang pyaara
maana meree ai jindagee tha teraa sang pyaara
magar bula raha hai mujhe koyee sunsaan kinaara
maana meree ai jindagee tha teraa sang pyaara
magar bula raha hai mujhe koyee sunsaan kinaara

haay kitne sapne sach bhee toh huye the,
aur jaane kitne tute
aur kai ghair apane bhee toh huye the,
kai apne hamse chhute
bit gaya woh din bit gaya woh din
pyaara, khel hua khatam saara
koyee sunsaan kinaara, maana meree ai jindagee

jivan bhar toh chale aur kabhee bhaage,
magar abb thak chuke hain
puchhe mann meraa jaane kaun hai woh,
kiske liye ham ruke hain
jaane kab hoga jaane kab hoga

ishaara, puchhe yeh mann bechaara
koyee sunsaan kinaara, maana meree
ai jindagee koyee sunsaan kinaara
magar bula raha hai mujhe koyee
sunsaan kinaara koyee sunsaan
kinaara koyee sunsaan kinaara

My life, I confess, bloomed in your embrace,
My life, a garden, once held your grace.
Yet a desolate shore, a silent space,
My life, I confess, yearns for that place.

Ah, how many dreams took flight, took form,
And how many shattered, weathered the storm.
How many homes, once safe and warm,
And how many loved ones, torn.
Those days have passed, the game is done,
My love, the play is over, the race is won.
A desolate shore, my life undone.

All life we walked, and sometimes we ran,
But now we are weary, a fading plan.
My heart now asks, who is that one?
For whom do we linger, the course half-spun?
Since when, oh since when,
The silent call, again and again.
A desolate shore, my heart's deep pain,
A desolate shore, the final refrain.
Yet that desolate shore, beckons me still,
A desolate shore, my wandering will,
A desolate shore, where shadows fulfill.
