ek jyot chita se jalakar
jivan me layi hu
iski roshni se aasha lagayi hu
ek jyoti

meri chudiya tuti, sindur mit gaya
vidhata ye kya kiya
mera ghar ujad gaya
kal saath jo mere the
raakh unki layi hu
ek jyot chita se jalakar
jivan me layi hu
ek jyoti

taqdeer ne is janam ka
hain badla le liya
mere suhag ko mujhse pahle juda kiya

From pyre's ember, a flame I drew,
Brought forth to life, anew.
In its light, hope's tendrils grew,
A single spark, anew.

My bangles shattered, vermilion gone,
What fate has wrought, since dawn?
My home now desolate, withdrawn.
Those held dear, now ash I bear,
From pyre's ember, a flame to share,
Brought forth to life, to fare,
A single spark, to care.

Destiny's hand, this life's decree,
Has stolen all, cruelly,
My beloved's love, from me.
