ye sham hai dhua dhua
fija bahut udas hai
na mai kisi ke pas hu
na koi mere pas hai
ye sham hai dhua dhua
fija bahut udas hai
na mai kisi ke pas hu
na koi mere pas hai

kisi khayal ki mahak
bikhar gayi hai dur tak
na jane kaun aayega
na jane kis ki aash hai
ye sham hai dhua dhua
fija bahut udas hai
na mai kisi ke pas hu
na koi mere pas hai
ye sham hai dhua dhua
fija bahut udas hai

jise bata saku na mai
jise bujha saku na mai
mere labo ki pyas bhi
na jane kaisi pyas hai
ye sham hai dhua dhua
fija bahut udas hai
na mai kisi ke pas hu
na koi mere pas hai
ye sham hai dhua dhua
fija bahut udas hai
na mai kisi ke pas hu
na koi mere pas hai
ye sham hai dhua dhua
fija bahut udas hai
na mai kisi ke pas hu
na koi mere pas hai

This evening, a haze of smoke,
The air, a sorrowful cloak.
I am near to none,
And none are near to me, alone.
This evening, a haze of smoke,
The air, a sorrowful cloak.
I am near to none,
And none are near to me, alone.

A thought's fragrance, dispersed,
Across the distance, cursed.
Who will come, I do not know,
For whom I wait, a seed I sow.
This evening, a haze of smoke,
The air, a sorrowful cloak.
I am near to none,
And none are near to me, alone.
This evening, a haze of smoke,
The air, a sorrowful cloak.

A truth I cannot speak,
A fire I cannot reek.
This thirst that burns my lips,
What kind of thirst, in death's eclipse?
This evening, a haze of smoke,
The air, a sorrowful cloak.
I am near to none,
And none are near to me, alone.
This evening, a haze of smoke,
The air, a sorrowful cloak.
I am near to none,
And none are near to me, alone.
This evening, a haze of smoke,
The air, a sorrowful cloak.
I am near to none,
And none are near to me, alone.
