wo sarphiri hawa thi, sambhalna pada mujhe
wo sarphiri hawa thi, sambhalna pada mujhe
main aakhari charag tha, jalna pada mujhe
wo sarphiri hawa thi

mehsus kar raha tha use apne aas paas
mehsus kar raha tha use apne aas paas
apna khayal khud hi badalna pada mujhe
apna khayal khud hi badalna pada mujhe
main aakhari charag tha, jalna pada mujhe
wo sarphiri hawa thi

maujue guftgu thi meri khamoshi kahin
maujue guftgu thi meri khamoshi kahin
jo zehar pee chuka tha, ugalna pada mujhe
jo zehar pee chuka tha, ugalna pada mujhe
main aakhari charag tha, jalna pada mujhe
wo sarphiri hawa thi

kuch dur tak to jaise koi mere sath tha
kuch dur tak to jaise koi mere sath tha
phir apne sath aap hi chalna pada mujhe
phir apne sath aap hi chalna pada mujhe
main aakhari charag tha, jalna pada mujhe
wo sarphiri hawa thi, sambhalna pada mujhe
main aakhari charag tha, jalna pada mujhe

That rebellious wind, I had to brace,
That rebellious wind, I had to brace.
A final lamp, I had to burn,
That rebellious wind.

I felt her presence, all around,
I felt her presence, all around.
My own thoughts, I had to reshape,
My own thoughts, I had to reshape.
A final lamp, I had to burn,
That rebellious wind.

My silence, the subject of all talk,
My silence, the subject of all talk.
The poison I’d drunk, I had to spew,
The poison I’d drunk, I had to spew.
A final lamp, I had to burn,
That rebellious wind.

For a while, as if someone walked with me,
For a while, as if someone walked with me.
Then, alone, I had to walk on my own,
Then, alone, I had to walk on my own.
A final lamp, I had to burn,
That rebellious wind, I had to brace.
A final lamp, I had to burn.
