jivan jyot jale
jivan jyot jale
kou na jane kab nikse din
kou na jane kab nikse din
aur kab raat dhale
aur kab raat dhale
jivan jyot jale
jivan jyot jale

bhor bhye to man muskaye
bhor bhye to man muskaye
sanjh bhye to neer bahaye
ek pal maan kare sansari
ek pal maan kare sansari
ek pal hath male
ek pal hath male
jivan jyot jale
jivan jyot jale

man mala me daar wo moti
man mala me daar wo moti
aa aa aa
man mala me daar wo moti
jisme jali ho prem ki jyoti
uski naiya paar hai jag me
uski naiya paar hai jag me
ja ke kaaj bhale
ja ke kaaj bhale
jivan jyot jale
jivan jyot jale
jyot jale
jyot jale

The lamp of life, it burns,
The lamp of life, it burns.
None can tell when day will break,
None can tell when day will break,
Or when the night returns.
Or when the night returns.
The lamp of life, it burns,
The lamp of life, it burns.

At dawn, the heart may smile,
At dawn, the heart may smile.
At dusk, the tears run wild.
One moment, pride in worldly things,
One moment, pride in worldly things,
One moment, hands are wrung.
One moment, hands are wrung.
The lamp of life, it burns,
The lamp of life, it burns.

String the pearls within the heart,
String the pearls within the heart,
Ah, ah, ah…
String the pearls within the heart,
Where the flame of love has started.
Their vessel will cross the world,
Their vessel will cross the world,
Their purpose well begun.
Their purpose well begun.
The lamp of life, it burns,
The lamp of life, it burns,
It burns,
It burns.
