uff tumhara shabab de raha hai javaab
roshani ho tumhi chandani ho tumhi
jindagi ho tumhi bandagi ho tumhi

In cities, villages, sun and shade,
In cities, villages, sun and shade,
I held myself back, yet thought and prayed,
I held myself back, yet thought and prayed.
Who is life? Who is devotion's hold?
Who is life? Who is devotion's hold?
Oh, your radiance, stories unfold,
Life, you are it, devotion, bold.

A princess reigns, her name is Poetry,
A princess reigns, her name is Poetry,
Her court enthralls, a sweet decree,
Her court enthralls, a sweet decree.
We hear the verse, yet lost we be,
We hear the verse, yet lost we be,
Who is Poetry? What is ecstasy?
Oh, your radiance, stories decree,
Poetry, you are it, ecstasy,
Life, you are it, devotion, free.
In cities, villages, sun and shade,
Ho, oh, ah ha, ah ha.

Mornings are lifeless, when light is gone,
Mornings are lifeless, when light is gone,
Nights are deserted, without the dawn,
Nights are deserted, without the dawn.
We knew it all, the heart still yearned,
We knew it all, the heart still yearned,
Who is the light? Who is the moon returned?
Oh, your radiance, stories are earned,
Light, you are it, the moon, you've burned,
Life, you are it, devotion, learned.
In cities, villages, sun and shade,
In cities, villages, sun and shade,
In cities, villages, sun and shade,
In cities, villages, sun and shade,
In cities, villages, sun and shade.
