zindane subah shaam me tu bhi ha mai bhi hu
zindane subah shaam me tu bhi ha mai bhi hu
ak gar dishiye mudaam me tu bhi ha mai bhi hu
zindane subah shaam me tu bhi ha mai bhi hu

shehraao ka sukut hamaara hi aksar hai
driaaao ke kheeram me tu bhi hai mai bhi hu
driaaao ke kheeram me tu bhi hai mai bhi hu
zindane subah shaam me tu bhi ha mai bhi hu

tere mere bikharne se hai saara iltesa
tarti ho aihtmaam me tu bhi hai mai bhi hu
tarti ho aihtmaam me tu bhi hai mai bhi hu
zindane subah shaam me tu bhi ha mai bhi hu

laihche me zaan utke ye khta hai mujhse kon
laihche me zaan utke ye khta hai mujhse kon
Akabar tere kalaam me tu bhi hai mai bhi hu
Akabar tere kalaam me tu bhi hai mai bhi hu
ak gar dishiye mudaam me tu bhi ha mai bhi hu
zindane subah shaam me tu bhi ha mai bhi hu
zindane subah shaam me tu bhi ha mai bhi hu

In the prison of every dawn and dusk, you are, and so am I.
In the perpetual orbit of existence, you are, and so am I.
In the prison of every dawn and dusk, you are, and so am I.

The silence of the deserts, a reflection of us both.
In the flowing dance of rivers, you are, and so am I.
In the flowing dance of rivers, you are, and so am I.
In the prison of every dawn and dusk, you are, and so am I.

From our fragmentation, the whole finds its plea.
In the order of cosmic arrangement, you are, and so am I.
In the order of cosmic arrangement, you are, and so am I.
In the prison of every dawn and dusk, you are, and so am I.

A voice, infused with life, whispers to me,
A voice, infused with life, whispers to me,
"Akbar, in your verses, you are, and so am I."
"Akbar, in your verses, you are, and so am I."
In the perpetual orbit of existence, you are, and so am I.
In the prison of every dawn and dusk, you are, and so am I.
In the prison of every dawn and dusk, you are, and so am I.
