jaaegaa jab yaha se kuchh bhi na paas hoga
do gaz kafan kaa tukda tera libaas hoga
jaaegaa jab yaha se
jaaegaa jab yaha se kuchh bhi na paas hoga
do gaz kafan kaa tukda tera libaas hoga
jaaegaa jab yaha se

matlab ki hai ye duniya
matlab ki hai ye duniya, kyaa apne kyaa paraaye
koi naa saath aayaa, koi naa saath jaae
do din ki zindagi hai
do din ki zindagi hai, kar le jo dil me aaye
jaaegaa jab yaha se kuchh bhi na paas hoga
do gaz kafan kaa tukda tera libaas hoga
jaaegaa jab yaha se

ye thaat-baat tera, ye aan-baan teri
ye thaat-baat tera, ye aan-baan teri
rah jaaegi yahi par
rah jaaegi yahi par, ye saari shaan teri
itni hai ae musaafir
itni hai ae musaafir bas daasta teri
jaaegaa jab yaha se kuchh bhi na paas hoga
do gaz kafan kaa tukda tera libaas hoga
jaaegaa jab yaha se

When you depart, nothing shall you hold,
Save two yards of shroud, your story told.
When you depart.

When you depart, nothing shall you hold,
Save two yards of shroud, your story told.
When you depart.

A world of self, this fleeting stage,
What kin, what stranger, in life's cage?
None will join, none will stay,
Two days the breath, come what may.
When you depart, nothing shall you hold,
Save two yards of shroud, your story told.
When you depart.

Your grandeur, your pride, a fleeting show,
Your grandeur, your pride, a fading glow,
All here it stays, a memory's gleam,
Your pomp and show, a fading dream.
So brief, O traveler, the tale you weave,
Your mortal dance, the soul to receive.
When you depart, nothing shall you hold,
Save two yards of shroud, your story told.
When you depart.
