badi suni suni hai zindagi ye zindagi
badi suni suni hai zindagi ye zindagi
mai khud se hun yahaan ajanabi ajanabi
badi suni suni hai

kabhi ek pal bhi, kahi ye udaasi
dil meraa bhule
kabhi muskuraakar dabe paanv aakar
dukh mujhe chhule
na kar mujhase gam mere, dillagi ye dillagi
badi suni suni hai

kabhi mai na soyaa, kahi mujhase khoyaa
sukh meraa aise
pataa naam likhakar, kahi yunhi rakhakar
bhule koi kaise
ajab dukh bhari hai ye, bebasi bebasi
badi suni suni hai

Vast and vacant, life unfurls,
Vast and vacant, life unfurls,
I, to myself, a stranger in these worlds,
Vast and vacant.

Not a moment passes, does this sorrow cease,
My heart forgets, then reels,
A smile will mask, while shadows cast,
And grief again reveals.
Don't toy with me, oh sorrow, don't you see,
Vast and vacant.

A slumber lost, a solace cast aside,
My joy, its memory frayed,
A name inscribed, then left behind,
Forgotten, unafraid.
This bittersweet despair, this agony,
Vast and vacant.
