ajab hai dasta teri eye jindagi
ajab hai dasta teri eye jindagi
kabhi hasa diya rula diya kabhi
ajab hai dasta teri eye jindagi
kabhi hasa diya rula diya kabhi
ajab hai dasta teri eye jindagi

kali khilne na payi thi ke
sakh hi uajad gayi
abhi jara se hi the ki
hmse pyari maa bichad gayi
ho aasmaa bata
ho aamaa bata kiya maine the kya
jo mili ye saja, jo mili ye saja
ladakpan me hi ye dunia luti
ajab hai dasta teri eye jindagi
kabhi hasa diya rula diya kabhi
ajab hai dasta teri eye jindagi

A tale, strange, is thine, O Life,
At times you laugh, at times you weep,
A tale, strange, is thine, O Life.

You came, a mother's love in tow,
And smiles bloomed upon our face,
As if to childhood we did go,
Back to that innocent space.
Beneath your love, this sheltering fold,
Our lamps relit, stories told,
Darkness dissolved, light did gleam,
A tale, strange, a vibrant dream.

But harsh and heartless is
Your Master's world, alas,
Where mothers and their sons are judged,
Where shadows often pass.
The bud of love, it withered fast,
Consumed by flames that ever cast,
You came to laughter, left us tears,
A tale, strange, through passing years.
