mere dil meri jaa jhum le yahi hai shama
zindagi to hai aawara jane kal ho kaha
mere dil meri jaa jhum le yahi hai shama
leke meri tamanaye rat huyi hai jawa
mere dil meri jaa

dard abhi na utha ye mujhe bhi hai pata
ho gaya tu kisi ka phir bhi hai mehman
zindagi to hai aawara jane kal ho kaha
mere dil meri jaa jhuml e yahi hai shama
leke meri tamanaye rat huyi hai jawa
mere dil meri jaa

tare machalte hue diye se jalte hue
jaise chalte hue ruk gaya aasma
leke meri tamanaye rat huyi hai jawa
mere dil meri jaa jhum le yahi hai shama
zindagi to hai aawara jane kal ho kaha
mere dil meri jaa

My heart, my soul, dance now, for this is the flame,
Life is a wanderer, tomorrow, where will it claim?
My heart, my soul, dance now, for this is the flame,
Bearing my desires, the night blooms in its name.
My heart, my soul...

The ache yet dormant, of this, I too am aware,
You've become another's, yet a guest you still share.
Life is a wanderer, tomorrow, where will it claim?
My heart, my soul, dance now, for this is the flame,
Bearing my desires, the night blooms in its name.
My heart, my soul...

Stars, restless, like lamps, consumed by the gleam,
As if the heavens themselves have paused in a dream.
Bearing my desires, the night blooms in its name.
My heart, my soul, dance now, for this is the flame,
Life is a wanderer, tomorrow, where will it claim?
My heart, my soul...
