ye khilwaton mein main mar na jaau
ye khilwaton mein main mar na jaau
samandaro mein utarna chahu
ye khilwaton mein main mar na jaau
samandaro mein utarna chahu

sitam ujalo ka badh raha hain
main apne saaye se darr na jaau
sitam ujalo ka badh raha hain
main apne saaye se darr na jaau
main apne saaye se darr na jaau
main apne saaye se darr na jaau
ye khilwaton mein main mar na jaau
samandaro mein utarna chahu

uthaya daste junune khanjar
main apni jaan se guzar na jaau
uthaya daste junune khanjar
main apni jaan se guzar na jaau
sharaabkhane gaya hain wayis
main ghar mein reh lu udhar na jaau
ye khilwaton mein main mar na jaau
samandaro mein utarna chahu

wo bewafa ki gali to kya hain
kabhi main uske sheher na jaau
wo bewafa ki gali to kya hain
kabhi main uske sheher na jaau
wo charagar mein bimaar-e-ulfat
ilaaz hote hi mar na jaau
ye khilwaton mein main mar na jaau
samandaro mein utarna chahu

main ek muddat se jutta hu
main pal jhapakte bikhar na jaau
main ek muddat se jutta hu
main pal jhapakte bikhar na jaau
tu apni aankho ko band kar de
main aansu bankar ubhar na jaau
ye khilwaton mein main mar na jaau
samandaro mein utarna chahu
samandaro mein utarna chahu
samandaro mein utarna chahu

In these fleeting games, lest I fade,
Into oceans deep, I long to wade.
In these fleeting games, lest I die,
Into oceans deep, my spirit to fly.

The cruel light's grip, it grows so strong,
Lest from my own shadow, I go wrong.
The cruel light's grip, it grows so bold,
Lest from my own shadow, my story be told.
Lest from my own shadow, I take flight,
Lest from my own shadow, lose the light.
In these fleeting games, lest I wane,
Into oceans deep, to ease the pain.

The hand of madness raised the blade,
Lest from my own life, a sacrifice be made.
The hand of madness, fiercely bold,
Lest from my own life, my tale is told.
To the tavern of vice, the pathway leads,
Lest in my home, my heart bleeds.
In these fleeting games, lest I fall,
Into oceans deep, to answer the call.

That faithless street, what is its worth?
Lest to her city, I give my rebirth.
That faithless street, where shadows play,
Lest to her city, I lose my way.
The healer's touch for love's disease,
Lest with the cure, my spirit cease.
In these fleeting games, lest I die,
Into oceans deep, my soul to try.

For ages, I have tried to mend,
Lest in a blink, my life shall end.
For ages, I have striven to bind,
Lest in a moment, my hopes unwind.
Close now your eyes, and let them rest,
Lest as a tear, I leave your breast.
In these fleeting games, lest I go,
Into oceans deep, where secrets flow.
Into oceans deep, my heart to roam,
Into oceans deep, to find my home.
