this world before me
a spectacle unfolds
every day and night before me

kabhee ek charaagh jalaa diyaa
kabhee ek charaagh bujhaa diyaa

after a night of restless waiting
sometimes, a lamp was lit

kuchh ne kaha ye chaand hai
kuchh ne kaha chehra tera

kya noor tha ki
shama ko parvaana kar diya
when that evening she came,
unveiled, to the gathering
oh, what a glow,
that turned the flame into a moth

wo intezaar tha jis ka
ye wo sahar to naheen
this tainted brightness
this night-bitten dawn
this is not the sunrise
we have long waited for

kabhi fursat mein kar lena
hisaab…aahista aahista
i’ve been awake the night of separation
oh angels, let me get some sleep
when we get some free time
we’ll settle the accounts, slowly, slowly

yun hi saath saath chalen sada
kabhi khatm apna safar na ho
sometimes swaying in the sunshine
sometimes kissing evening flowers
let us walk together forever
may our journey never end

kis barhaman ne kaha tha
ki ye saal achchha hai
days and nights have not changed
nor is the condition any good
which brahmin foretold
this is a good year
