sunte hain koi
maut ka mehmaan huaa hain
parvana koi samma pe
kurbaan huaa hain
ye kaun tha jo mit gaya
insaan ki khatir
insaan tha insaan se
bhagwan huaa hain

They say a guest has come, of death's dark grace,
A moth, surrendered to the candle's face.
Who was this soul, that vanished in the light,
For humankind, to banish endless night?
A mortal form, that in its giving soared,
From man to man, a god forever adored.
