kachchi mitti hain, dil bhi insaan bhi
dekhane hi mein sakht lagata hain
aanshu pochhe to aansuon ke nishan
khushk hone mein wakt lagata hain

aaj bichhade hain, kal kaa dar bhi nahi
jindagi itani mukhtasar bhi nahi
aaj bichhade hain aaj bichhade hain
aaj bichhade hain aaj bichhade hain

We are clay, hearts and humans too,
appearing hardened, a sturdy view.
But wipe away the tears we weep,
and traces linger, secrets to keep.
Time is needed for the drying tear,
to vanish, and the truth appear.

We part today, no fear of dawn,
though life's a song, and goes on and on.
We part today, we part today,
we part today, and slip away.
