aye jindagi hui kaha bhul
jiski hame mili ye saja
kaha se kaha layi tu hame
ham se hai kyo itni khafa aye jindagi

beete jo dil pe hamare
ja kisko sunaye
chhalke jo aankho se dil ke
aansu ye kisko dikhaye
kaun sune dil ka gam
dhushman hai jag sara
aye jindagi hui kaha bhul
jiski hame mili ye saja aye jindagi

jaye to ham kaha jaye
sujhe na koi kinara
bhar gaya jiya jee ke
chhod de pichha hamara
ho teri kasam duniya ham
aayenge na dubaara
aye jindagi hui kaha bhul

Oh, Life, where did we err?
What fault earned us this plight?
From what unknown shores did you steer,
And why do you shun our light?

The burdens borne upon our heart,
To whom shall we confide?
The tears that from our soul depart,
Whose eyes will see them glide?
Who hears the sorrow of the soul?
The world, a foe, it seems.
Oh, Life, where did we lose control?
And wander through these dreams?

Where can we now wander?
No shore appears in sight.
Our weary hearts surrender,
Release us from your night.
By your own law we swear,
We'll not return, we're through.
Oh, Life, where did we lose our share?
In this torment, me and you.
