dil me koi umang hai, na koi tarang hai
ye zindagi bhi jaise ek kati patang hai
mehandi ka nahi
aansu ka hatho pe rang hai
mere liye, nahi nahi mere liye
mere liye, nahi nahi mere liye
koi bhi nahi hai khushiya
kismat me mere likhi
shayad ye galiya
mere liye, nahi nahi mere liye
mere liye, nahi nahi mere liye

In a heart, no tide does rise, no yearning sings,
This life, a kite adrift, on unseen strings.
No henna's bloom,
But tears that stain the hands, a mournful thing.
For me, no, never for me,
For me, no, never for me,
No joy remains, a desert's lonely decree,
In destiny, the shadowed lanes I see.
For me, no, never for me,
For me, no, never for me.
