ye sach hai ae jaha waalo hume jina nahi aaya
ye sach hai ae jaha waalo hume jina nahi aaya
mare ham sau baar jite ji magar marna nahi aaya
ye sach hai ae jaha waalo

badi aasan thi raahe naa manjil koi mushkil
badi aasan thi raahe naa manjil koi mushkil
magar aasaan raaho par hume chalna nahi aaya
hume chalna nahi aaya
ye sach hai ae jaha waalo hume jina nahi aaya
ye sach hai ae jaha waalo

sisakati raat ke saayo me jab kho jayenge hum bhi
sisakati raat ke saayo me jab kho jayenge hum bhi
shama jal-jal ke puchhegi vo parvana nahi aaya
vo parvana nahi aaya
ye sach hai ae jaha waalo hume jina nahi aaya
ye sach hai ae jaha waalo

It's true, oh dwellers of the world, we never learned to truly live.
It's true, oh dwellers of the world, we never learned to truly live.
We died a hundred deaths while living, yet we never learned to die.
It's true, oh dwellers of the world.

The paths were simple, no destination ever hard to find.
But on those easy roads, we never learned to walk with grace.
We never learned to walk with grace.
It's true, oh dwellers of the world, we never learned to truly live.
It's true, oh dwellers of the world.

In the shadows of the weeping night, when we too disappear,
In the shadows of the weeping night, when we too disappear,
The candle, burning, will ask, "Where is the moth that never came?"
Where is the moth that never came?
It's true, oh dwellers of the world, we never learned to truly live.
It's true, oh dwellers of the world.
