ye bekasi ke andhere zara to dhalne de
ye bekasi ke andhere zara to dhalne de
bujha na de mere dil ka chirag jalne de
bujha na de mere dil ka chirag jalne de
ye bekasi ke andhere zara to dhalne de

khud apni aag me jalna mera mukaddar hai
khud apni aag me jalna mera mukaddar hai
mai ek shama hu
mai ek shama hu pal-pal mujhe pighalne de

ye bhatki bhatki jawani ye dagmagaye kadam
ye bhatki bhatki jawani ye dagmagaye kadam
sambhal to jau zamana agar sambhlne de
bujha na de mere dil ka chirag jalne de
ye bekasi ke andhere zara to dhalne de

Let the shadows of despair, just now, recede,
Let the shadows of despair, just now, recede.
Do not extinguish the lamp within my heart, let it bleed,
Do not extinguish the lamp within my heart, let it bleed.
Let the shadows of despair, just now, recede.

To burn within my own flame is my decree,
To burn within my own flame is my decree.
I am a candle, a flickering entity,
I am a candle, let me melt, for eternity.

This youth, astray, these faltering feet,
This youth, astray, these faltering feet,
Perhaps I'll find my footing, if the world concedes,
Do not extinguish the lamp within my heart, let it bleed,
Let the shadows of despair, just now, recede.
