jalte deep bujh gaye
jalte deep bujh gaye, chha gaya andhera
chha gaya andhera
hasi khushi ki rat ko
hasi khushi ki rat ko, ranjo gam ne ghera
chha gaya andhera
jalte deep bujh gaye, chha gaya andhera
chha gaya andhera

jin naino me khelti thi, shokhiya jawaniya
ab wo nain kah rahe hai, dukh bhari kahaniya
ab wo nain kah rahe hai, dukh bhari kahaniya
kar rahi hai har taraf
kar rahi hai har taraf, udaasiya bhatera
chha gaya andhera
jalte deep bujh gaye, chha gaya andhera
chha gaya andhera

mita mita sa hai sindur, chudiya hai chur chur
mita mita sa hai sindur, chudiya hai chur chur
bikhar gayi hai mang kyu, lut gaya suhag kyu
kiska naam le koi
kiska naam le koi, kaun hai lutera
chha gaya andhera
jalte deep bujh gaye, chha gaya andhera
chha gaya andhera

siskiyo ke saaj par, kisne chheda gum ka rag
dil pakad ke rah gaye, jal uthi chita ki aag
jal uthi chita ki aag
jal uthi chita ki aag

The lamps, they dimmed and died,
The world surrendered to a shadowed tide.
A night once bright with laughter's grace,
Now choked by sorrow's cold embrace.
The lamps, they dimmed and died,
The world surrendered to a shadowed tide.

Where youthful eyes once danced with glee,
Now whisper tales of misery.
Now whisper tales of misery.
On every shore,
On every shore, desolation blooms galore.
The lamps, they dimmed and died,
The world surrendered to a shadowed tide.

The vermillion fades, the bangles break,
Why is the parting line now a desolate lake?
Why is the parting line now a desolate lake?
Whose name to call,
Whose name to call, who stole the sacred wake?
The lamps, they dimmed and died,
The world surrendered to a shadowed tide.

On sighs, a dirge begins to play,
Who dared to sing this mournful lay?
The heart, it aches, the pyre alight,
Consuming all within its burning might.
Consuming all within its burning might.
