kisi ka deep jalta hai, kisi ka deep bujhta hai
kisi ki zindagi ka ek pal me, rang badalta hai
kisi ka deep jalta hai
kisi ka deep jalta hai, kisi ka deep bujhta hai

koi pata koi khota, koi hansta phir kahe
koi rokar ke bahkata, kabhi wo jagta rahta hai
kisi ka deep jalta hai, kisi ka deep bujhta hai

koi uljhan ko uljhata, koi dariya ban bahta hai
kisi ne phul ronde hai, koi kato par chalta hai
kisi ka deep jalta hai, kisi ka deep bujhta hai

koi apna bana leta, koi sapne bhi khota hai
koi mohtaj tukdo ka, koi moti pirota hai
kisi ka deep jalta hai, kisi ka deep bujhta hai
kahi jal jal ke bujhta hai, kahi bujh bujh ke jalta hai
kisi ka deep jalta hai, kisi ka deep bujhta hai
kisi ka deep jalta hai, kisi ka deep bujhta hai

One flame ascends, another starts to wane,
A life's swift tide, in moments, shifts its stain.
One flame still burns.
One flame ascends, another starts to wane.

Some gain, some lose, some laugh and dance,
Some weep and wander, in a waking trance.
One flame still burns, another starts to wane.

Some knot the threads of fate so tight,
Some flow as rivers, bathed in light.
Some crush the blooms, some walk on thorns,
One flame still burns, another starts to wane.

Some gather close, some lose their dreams,
Some beg for crumbs, some string sunbeams.
One flame still burns, another starts to wane.
Burning bright, then flickering low,
Sometimes dimming, then starts to glow.
One flame still burns, another starts to wane.
One flame ascends, another starts to wane.
