o prani kyaa soche kyaa hoye
bhagya ke hai khel niraale pal jage pal soye
o prani kya soche

kin chaho se baag lagaye
aashao ke deep jalaye
hansane ke saman banaye
pas khadaa phir roye
kya soche kya hoye
kya soche kya hoye
o prani kya soche

maati ka ik diya jale aandhi badhati jaye
chhalani si odhni kab tak ise bachaye
jo hoye so hoye teri pesh na jane koye
kya soche kya hoye
kya soche kya hoye
o prani kyaa soche

O, mortal, what do you ponder, what will be?
Fate's game, a marvel, moments wake, then flee.
O, mortal, what do you ponder?

With what desires did you plant your garden's art?
Lit lamps of hope to warm a fragile heart.
Built laughter's facade, a stage set to impart
But grief stood waiting, ever near to see.
What will be?
What will be?
O, mortal, what do you ponder?

A clay lamp flickers, as the tempest starts to roar,
A sieve of cloth, how long can it endure the core?
Let what will happen, happen, your plea won't change the score.
What will be?
What will be?
O, mortal, what do you ponder?
