ho khafai jo ye bedaag hui
dil ki duniya meri barbad hui
barbad kar ke humko aabaad ho rahe hai
barbad kar ke humko aabaad ho rahe hai
nashad hoke hum bhi kismat ko ro rahe hai
barbad karke humko

ab kya karege ji ke jine ka kya sahara
ab kya karege ji ke jine ka kya sahara
hum de ke dil ko aapna gairo ke ho rahe hai
barbad karke humko

phulo ko yaad hogi aakriti humari
phulo ko yaad hogi aakriti humari
sabnam bhi dekhti hai hum kaise ro rahe hai
barbad karke humko

tupha se kya gila hai dariya se kya sikayat
tupha se kya gila hai dariya se kya sikayat
kashti chalne wale kashti dubo rahe hai
barbad karke humko aabaal ho rahe hai
barbad karke humko

When the scarless heart is spurned,
My world, it crumbles, overturned.
They rise, enriched, upon my fall,
They rise, enriched, beyond recall.
Bereft, we weep, our fate we mourn,
They rise, enriched, upon my fall.

What use is life, what comfort now?
What use is life, what comfort now?
We gave our hearts, and now they roam,
They rise, enriched, in a distant home.
They rise, enriched, upon my fall.

The flowers recall our fading form,
The flowers recall, weathering the storm.
The dewdrop weeps, observing pain,
How we weep, consumed by rain.
They rise, enriched, upon my fall.

Why blame the storm, the ocean's sway?
Why blame the storm, the ocean's way?
The helmsman sinks the destined craft,
As they rise, enriched, in his cruel craft.
They rise, enriched, upon my fall.
