sulgi hui hai raakh dil me dabi
gujari hui aahat suni hai abhi
pal pal gale me jo chubati hai awaj si
sine me ataki hai ik chikh naraj si
ae jindagi kuch to bata hai ye hisab kya
chad gaya sarir pe tukda tukda khawab kya

kyo dard ke kato me pisne laga
sannaata lamho se ghisne lga
manba hai bikhra bahar taraf khwab ka
dariya hume paar karna hai tejaab ka
ae jindagi le chal waha dil ka jaha hai jaha
kyun bhala jinda rahe tishna tishna hum yaha

ye to vo duniya nahi
le ke chal dil ko vahi
chun lenge apni jamin aasman
sajish ki sahil se takraye na kastiya
khawahish ke hotho ko chhu na ske tarkhiya
ae jindagi le chal waha gum jaye mehrumiya
kyun bhala jinda rahe tishna tishna hum yaha

A smoldering ash, in the heart it sleeps,
A whisper of echoes, the silence keeps.
Each moment, a voice that stings the throat,
A silent scream, in my chest afloat.
Oh, life, tell me, what is this reckoning?
A dream fragmented, on my form descending.

Why am I crushed in thorns of pain?
The hollow stillness, starts to stain.
The mind, a dream, spilled on the ground,
A river of acid, we must be found.
Oh, life, take me where my heart can be,
Why should we live, parched, perpetually?

This is not the world I seek,
Take my heart, to speak.
We will choose our earth, our sky,
Where plots won't smash our vessels by.
Where bitterness can't touch desire's lips,
Oh, life, take me where loss slips.
Why should we live, parched, perpetually?
