paas baitho tabiyat bahal jaayegi
maut bhi aa gayi ho to tal jaayegi
paas baitho tabiyat bahal jaayegi
maut bhi aa gayi ho to tal jaayegi

dhaar kaajal ki tum aur tikhi karo
maang hotho ki mithi hasi se bharo
jindagi jhumne par machal jaayegi
maut bhi aa gayi ho to tal jaayegi
paas baitho tabiyat bahal jaayegi
maut bhi aa gayi ho to tal jaayegi

hamne maana ke chhaayi hain kaali ghata
gore gaalo se gesu hata do jara
is andhere me ek shamma jal jaayegi
maut bhi aa gayi ho to tal jaayegi
paas baitho tabiyat bahal jaayegi
maut bhi aa gayi ho to tal jaayegi

gam ne chheda hame, tum naa chheda karo
jo tumhaare hai unse naa parda karo
muskura do tamanna nikal jaayegi
maut bhi aa gayi ho to tal jaayegi
paas baitho tabiyat bahal jaayegi
maut bhi aa gayi ho to tal jaayegi

Sit close, and solace will descend,
Though death itself, its course will bend.
Sit close, and solace will descend,
Though death itself, its course will bend.

Sharpen kohl's edge, a deeper line,
With sweet laughter, lips entwine.
Life will dance, no longer still,
Though death itself, its course will bend.
Sit close, and solace will descend,
Though death itself, its course will bend.

We know dark clouds have gathered near,
From pale cheeks, lift your hair, my dear.
A single flame in darkness will ignite,
Though death itself, its course will bend.
Sit close, and solace will descend,
Though death itself, its course will bend.

Grief has touched us, leave us be,
From those who love, do not flee.
Smile, and desire will take its flight,
Though death itself, its course will bend.
Sit close, and solace will descend,
Though death itself, its course will bend.
