sahas ke aasma par
vishwas ki jami par
sahas ke aasma par
vishwas ki jami par
karmo ke daane khakar
ujle kaale par failakar
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye

ek nanha deep hai jivan
duniya tufani aandhi
himmat ka tel hai isme
jale aatma ki baati
sawan barse, bhado barse
maush ki sardi , jeth ki garmi
sahta jaye, jalta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye

yash tap, yash labh aur hani
sab vidhi ke hath hai bande
nahi kuch bhi bsa me tere
tu chhod de gorakh dhandhe
pal bhar ki na khabar hai humko
kyu sau baras ki chinta tujhko
kaal ka pahiya chalta jaye
kaal ka pahiya chalta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye

ek rangmanch hai duniya
kathputli hai hum sare
hatho me dor hai uske
wo chahe jaisa nachaye
sur bhi uska, taal bhi uski
shabd bhi uske, lay bhi uski
koi sune, koi gaaye
koi sune, koi gaaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye

jisko hai bharosa us par
use kabhi aanch na aaye
karam ka lekha kisne padha
wahi maare, wahi jeelaye
dhup bhi aaye, chhanv bhi aaye
nahi samajh kuch tere aaye
jo aaye wo jaye
jo aaye wo jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye
samay ka panchhi udta jaye

On courage's sky,
On faith's own ground,
On courage's sky,
On faith's own ground,
Feeding on deeds,
Spreading light and dark,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight.

A tiny lamp, is life,
A world of stormy gales,
Courage the oil within,
The soul's wick brightly flares,
Through monsoon rains, through winter's chill,
Through summer's blaze, through biting frost,
Enduring all, it burns away,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight.

Fame, penance, gain and loss,
All in the Maker's hand,
Nothing is truly yours,
Let go of earthly stand,
A moment's breath, we cannot know,
Why worry for a century's show?
The wheel of time keeps turning round,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight.

A stage, this world we see,
Puppets, all of us are,
The strings within His hands,
He makes us dance afar,
His is the song, the rhythm's beat,
His are the words, the music sweet,
Some listen, some will sing,
Some listen, some will sing,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight.

To those who trust in Him,
No harm will ever come,
Who reads the book of fate?
He gives life, and takes some,
Through sun and shade, the path unfolds,
No wisdom in your hands is hold,
What comes must go,
What comes must go,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight.
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight,
The bird of time takes flight.
