dur chala jaata hu main
kahin dur chala jaata hu main
rote ho tum kyun, kiske liye
jite hain sab, yahan apne liye
aashiyaa banayenge
badalo me jaake kahin
dur chala jaata hu

badalo me baith ke bhi mujhe
sabhi niche saaf sa kyun hain
jab dekhu paas paas se
saya dur laga hain
badalo me baith ke bhi mujhe
sabhi niche saaf sa kyun hain
jab dekhu paas paas se
saya dur laga hain
jaane kyun dur chala jata hu main
kahin dur chala, jaata hu main

tamasho me gher ke ab thume
tamasha ye chalta raha hain
sab kuch dekha dekha sa
phir sab naya hain
tamasho me gher ke ab thume
tamasha ye chalta raha hain
sab kuch dekha dekha sa
phir sab naya hain
jaane kyun dur chala jata hu main
kahin dur chala, jaata hu main
dur chala jaata hu main

I drift away,
into a far, unseen shore.
Why weep? For whom do tears fall?
Each one lives, here, for their own core.
We shall build our nest,
in the clouds' embrace, so high.
I drift away.

Even seated there, amidst the clouds,
why does all below appear so clear?
When I gaze close,
my shadow feels so far.
Even seated there, amidst the clouds,

When I gaze close,
my shadow feels so far.
I know not why I must depart,
I drift away, I drift away.

Surrounded by this play, now stilled,
yet the spectacle continues on.
All is familiar,
yet newly born.
