ye kaisi chap kadam ki sunaai de rahi hai
ye kaisi chap kadam ki sunaai de rahi hai
koi aaya hai ya koi utar ke jaa raha hai
ye kaisi chap kadam ki sunaai de rahi hai
koi aaya hai ya koi utar ke jaa raha hai

ye meri jindagi hai naa
ye meri jindagi hai naa mere ghar aise aati hai
koi chitthi rasaai mujhe unkaaa gumaan aaye
akeli hu bas itni si khabar de jaa raha hai
koi aaya hai koi utar ke jaa raha hai

ye meri jindagi hai naa ye dastak deke kehti hai
bina sahil ke behati ho akeli kaise rehti ho
wehem hai jo koi dil se gujar ke jaa raha hai
koi aaya hai ya koi utar ke jaa raha hai

A footfall echoes, a whisper in the air,
A cadence of arrival, or a fading prayer.
A footfall echoes, a whisper in the air,
Has someone come, or is someone leaving there?

Is this my life, a presence at the door?
My life, that knocks, as it has done before.
A letter's promise, a pride I can't ignore,
Alone I am, and this is all I'm sure of anymore.
Has someone come, or is someone leaving there?

My life, it knocks, a summons in the night,
"Without a shore, how do you hold to light?
How do you live, adrift in endless flight?"
A phantom fear, that passes from my sight.
Has someone come, or is someone leaving there?
