ye kaisa utthan hai
aayina bhi khud se anjan hai
ye kaisi udaan hai
jiska na koi makam hai
ye kaisa utthan hai

manjilo ki duri ghatti nahi hai
raahe sidhi milti nahi hai
ho sapno ka picha karte hai sare
kaise utare jami pe sitare
dhundhe sabhi yaha waha
kaun hai kaha
ye kaisa utthan hai
aayina bhi khud se anjan hai
ye kaisi udaan hai
jiska na koi makam hai
ye kaisa utthan hai

farebi mohabbat, na khwabo ke piche
jise dekho wo hi, apni or khiche
o bulandi pe sohrat jhilmila rahi hai
kaise mile kab tadpa rahi hai
hai ye bhawar, jiwan safar dhua dhua sa
ye kaisa utthan hai
aayina bhi khud se anjan hai
ye kaisi udaan hai
jiska na koi makam hai
ye kaisa utthan hai

What ascension is this?
Even the mirror is a stranger to itself.
What flight is this?
That knows no resting place.
What ascension is this?

The distance to goals doesn't lessen,
The paths, they never run straight.
All chase after dreams,
How to bring the stars down to earth?
Everyone searches here and there,
Who is where?
What ascension is this?
Even the mirror is a stranger to itself.
What flight is this?
That knows no resting place.
What ascension is this?

Deceitful love, behind the dreams we chase,
Whomever you see, they pull you in their embrace.
Fame shimmers on high,
How to meet, when it torments nigh?
This is a whirlpool, life's journey, smoky, obscure.
What ascension is this?
Even the mirror is a stranger to itself.
What flight is this?
That knows no resting place.
What ascension is this?
