sine me sulagta hai dil gam se pighalta hai dil
jitne bhi ansu hain bahe utna hi jalta hai dil
kaisi hai ye agan kaisi hai ye jalan
kaisi barish hui jal gaya hai chaman

kaisa ye sitam ho gaya
paya jise tha wo kho gaya
lagta hai nasib mera hamesha ke liye so gaya
kaisi hai ye agan kaisi hai ye jalan
kaisi barish hui jal gaya hai chaman

mai hu aur yado ki hai parchhaiya
thokre hai aur hai rusvaiya
dur tak kuch bhi najar aata nahi
har taraf phaili hai bas tanhaiya
jalte the jo mere liye bujh gaye wo sare diye
tu hi ye bata de jindagi kab tak koi jiye
kaisi hai ye agan kaisi hai ye jalan
kaisi barish hui jal gaya hai chaman

cha gayi gam ki ghataye kya karu
ro rahi hai ye havaye kya karu
gholti thi ras jo kano me kabhi
kho gayi hai wo sadaye kya karu
jane ab jana hai kaha
ankho me hai jaise dhua
milte nahi hai raste mit gaye sare nishan
kaisi hai ye agan kaisi hai ye jalan
kaisi barish hui jal gaya hai chaman

In the breast, a fire smolders, the heart melts with sorrow,
The tears that have fallen, the more it burns, my heart.
What is this fire, what is this burning?
What rain has fallen, the garden is aflame.

What cruelty has befallen?
What I found, is now lost.
It seems my fate has fallen asleep forever.
What is this fire, what is this burning?
What rain has fallen, the garden is aflame.

I am left, with shadows of memories,
Stumbles and humiliations are all I see.
Nothing is visible, far away,
Only loneliness spreads everywhere.
The lamps that once burned for me, now extinguished,
Tell me, oh life, how long can one live?
What is this fire, what is this burning?
What rain has fallen, the garden is aflame.

Clouds of sorrow have gathered, what can I do?
These winds are weeping, what can I do?
The melodies that once poured nectar in my ears,
Are lost now, what can I do?
Where do I go now?
As if smoke fills my eyes.
The paths are not found, all signs are erased.
What is this fire, what is this burning?
What rain has fallen, the garden is aflame.
