Raj - it depends on your metabolism, weight, etc.
Check out www.caloriesperhour.com - it has a calculator for how many calories you burn doing almost anything you can think of (my favorite is 'attending family reunion, not fighting')

Hope you find your answer!

It varies dramatically with what type of lifting you're doing - squats probably burn way more than, say, shoulder shrugs.
