taqdir banayi mere maalik ne sabhi ki
jo aadmi jis cheej ke kabil najar aaya
bulbul ko diya nala to parvane ko jalna
ghum mujhko diya jo sabse muskil najar aaya

aasmaan se jami pe uthara hume
aasmaan se jami pe uthara hume
duniya wale jindagi de ke
kyu mara hume duniya wale jindagi de ke
kyu mara hume
aasmaan se jami pe uthara hume
aasmaan se jami pe uthara hume
duniya wale jindagi de ke
kyu mara hume o duniya wale jindagi de ke
kyu mara hume

mere ghum ki to koi bhi sima nahi
kisko aawaj du koi bhi apna nahi
mere ghum ki to koi bhi sima nahi
kisko aawaj du koi bhi apna nahi
tu hi kah de jara tu hi kah de jara
kis taraf jau mai
kaid mai fas gayi mai koi rasta nahi

ho o aasmaa se jami pe uthara hume
aasmaan se jami pe uthara hume
duniya wale jindagi de ke kyu mara hume
duniya wale jindagi de ke kyu mara hume

iss garibi ki diwar ne ye kya kiya
mere mahbub se bhi na milne diya
iss garibi ki diwar ne ye kya kiya
mere mahbub se bhi na milne diya
vo kahi bhi rahe vo salamat rahe
dil usse ab bhi deta hai usse duaa
aasmaan se jami pe uthara hume
aasmaan se jami pe uthara hume
duniya wale jindagi de ke kyu mara hume
o duniya wale jindagi de ke kyu mara hume
aasmaan se jami pe uthara hume
aasmaan se jami pe uthara hume
duniya wale jindagi de ke kyu mara hume
o duniya wale jindagi de ke kyu mara hume

Fate, a tapestry woven by the Maker's hand,
Each soul assigned a purpose, in this promised land.
The nightingale, a song; the moth, a fiery pyre,
My lot, the deepest sorrow, a burden I desire,
Not truly, but it is mine.

From heavens vast, to earth we are descended, cast,
From heavens vast, to earth we are descended, cast,
And life they gave, this world, then struck a fatal blast,
Why did they wound us, with a life so fleeting fast?
From heavens vast, to earth we are descended, cast.

My grief, a boundless ocean, where shores cannot be found,
To whom shall I cry out? No kindred spirit, bound.
My grief, a boundless ocean, where shores cannot be found,
To whom shall I cry out? No kindred spirit, bound.
Tell me, oh tell me, which path shall I tread?
Imprisoned am I, with no path ahead.

Oh, from heavens vast, to earth we are descended, cast,
From heavens vast, to earth we are descended, cast,
And life they gave, this world, then struck a fatal blast,
Why did they wound us, with a life so fleeting fast?

Poverty's harsh wall, a cruel divide,
Keeps me from my beloved, where our true hearts reside.
Poverty's harsh wall, a cruel divide,
Keeps me from my beloved, where our true hearts reside.
May he be safe, wherever he may roam,
My heart still whispers prayers, to guide him home.
From heavens vast, to earth we are descended, cast,
From heavens vast, to earth we are descended, cast,
And life they gave, this world, then struck a fatal blast,
Oh, why did they wound us, with a life so fleeting fast?
From heavens vast, to earth we are descended, cast,
From heavens vast, to earth we are descended, cast,
And life they gave, this world, then struck a fatal blast,
Oh, why did they wound us, with a life so fleeting fast?
