hua sawera panchi jage shital pawan chale
dal dal se kirne chalke jiwan jyot jale
jiwan jyot jale jiwan jyot jale jiwan jyot jale

bhor bhai jo man se pukare
bhor bhai jo man se pukare
parbhu jane uske dware wo ghar phule fale
jiwan jyot jale jiwan jyot jale

aadha pet jo khake rukha
apne kanth ko chhod ke sukha
aadha pet jo khake rukha
apne kanth ko chhod ke sukha
duje ki jo pyas bujhaye
ganga me wo bahte aaye uske pap tale
jiwan jyot jale jiwan jyot jale

jiska man hi ek mandir hai
uska ghar bhagwan ka ghar hai
jiska man hi ek mandir hai
uska ghar bhagwan ka ghar hai
roz jape jo hari ki mala
koi chinta paas na aaye sab dukh dard tale
jiwan jyot jale jiwan jyot jale
bhor bhai jo man se pukare
parbhu jane uske dware wo ghar phule fale
jiwan jyot jale jiwan jyot jale

Dawn unfurls, the birds awaken,
A gentle breeze begins to roam,
From every bough, light is taken,
Where life's own ember finds its home.
Life's ember burns, life's ember burns, life's ember burns.
If dawn is called with heart's true plea,
If dawn is called with heart's true plea,
The Lord will enter, at the door's decree,
And bless that house with fruitfulness and glee.
Life's ember burns, life's ember burns.

With half a meal, a crust to face,
And quenching thirst with self-denial,
With half a meal, a crust to face,
And quenching thirst with self-denial,
For others' thirst, a life is poured,
As in the Ganges, sins are stored,
And carried forth, to where all sorrows fall.
Life's ember burns, life's ember burns.

Whose heart itself, a temple stands,
Whose heart itself, a temple stands,
Has God's own house, within their hands.
Who chants the Lord's name, day by day,
No worries come, no shadows stay,
All grief and pain, are swept away.
Life's ember burns, life's ember burns,
If dawn is called with heart's true plea,
The Lord will enter, at the door's decree,
And bless that house with fruitfulness and glee.
Life's ember burns, life's ember burns.
