ye zindagi ek pal ka hai safar
to kya jo teri yaad me jaye guzar

soye zameen asmaan jab raat ho
aur jagoon teri yaad me
main raat bhar
tu ye jaaney na
teri yaad me jaanejaan
maine chhoda ye jahan
main wahan ab tu jahan

socha ye tune kya kabhi
ye bekhaber
ke chahun tumko har ghadi
main kis qadar

This life, a fleeting, breath-held trek,
And if it fades in mem'ry's beck,
So be it then.

When earth and heaven slumber deep,
And in your thought, I vigil keep,
Through endless night.
You do not know,
My love, my soul,
How in your trace,
I've left this space,
And now, where you are, I'm embraced.

Have you not paused to ponder, love,
Unknowing heart, from stars above,
How much I yearn,
Each passing hour, I softly burn.
