utar dakshin puraw paschim
jidhar bhi dekhu mai andhkar andhkar
andhere me jo baithe hai, nazar un par bhi kuch dalo
andhere me jo baithe hai, nazar un par bhi kuch dalo
are o roshani walo
bure itne nahi hai hum, zara dekho hame bhalo
are o roshani walo

kafan se dhap kar baithe hai ham sapno ki lasho ko
jo kismat ne dikhaye, dekhate hai un tamasho ko
kafan se dhap kar baithe hai ham sapno ki lasho ko
jo kismat ne dikhaye, dekhate hai un tamasho ko
hame nafrat se mat dekho, zara ham par raham kha lo
are o roshani walo
andhere me jo baithe hai, nazar un par bhi kuch dalo
are o roshani walo

hamare bhi the kuch sathi, hamare bhi the kuch sapne
hamare bhi the kuch sathi, hamare bhi the kuch sapne
sabhi wo raah me chute, wo sab ruthe jo the apne
sabhi wo raah me chute, wo sab ruthe jo the apne
jo rote hai kai din se, zara unko bhi samajha lo
are o roshani walo
andhere me jo baithe hai, nazar un par bhi kuch dalo
are o roshani walo

East, West, North, and South,
East, West, North, and South,
Wherever I gaze, only darkness surrounds.
Those who dwell in shadows, cast your glance upon them,
Those who dwell in shadows, cast your glance upon them,
Oh, you who are bathed in light,

We are not so wicked, see us with compassion,
Oh, you who are bathed in light.

Wrapped in shrouds, we cradle the corpses of dreams,
Witnessing the spectacles that fate has decreed.
Wrapped in shrouds, we cradle the corpses of dreams,
Witnessing the spectacles that fate has decreed.
Do not scorn us with your hatred, show us some mercy,
Oh, you who are bathed in light,
Those who dwell in shadows, cast your glance upon them,
Oh, you who are bathed in light.

We too had companions, we too had dreams,
We too had companions, we too had dreams,
All abandoned on the road, all those we loved turned away.
All abandoned on the road, all those we loved turned away.
Those who weep for days on end, console them too,
Oh, you who are bathed in light,
Those who dwell in shadows, cast your glance upon them,
Oh, you who are bathed in light.
