rat dhalne lagi bujh gaye hain diye
rah takte hain hum jane kiske liye
rat dhalne lagi bujh gaye hain diye
rah takte hain hum jane kiske liye

koi aahat nahin rahen sunsan hain
koi aahat nahin rahen sunsan hain
aarzu ke nagar saare viran hain
kya kare hum sochke hum bhi hairan hain
is tarah kitne din kis tarah hum jiyen
raah takte hain hum jane kiske liye

dur tak ab koi sangi sathi nahi
dur tak ab koi sangi sathi nahi
koi dipak nahin koi bati nahi
kya kare zindgi ye batati nahi
gum jo ek zehar hai koi kab tak piye
rah takte hain hum jane kiske liye

Night descends, the lamps now fade,
Whose shadowed path do we await?
Night descends, the lamps now fade,
Whose shadowed path do we await?

No whisper stirs, the pathways sleep,
No whisper stirs, the pathways sleep,
Desire's cities, they now weep.
What to do, we question deep,
How many days, how shall we be?
Whose shadowed path do we await?

No kindred soul, the distance vast,
No kindred soul, the distance vast,
No guiding lamp to hold us fast,
What life decrees, its secrets cast,
This poison grief, how long to bleed?
Whose shadowed path do we await?
