bharosa kar na daulat par na surat par na chaahat par
ye duniyaa hai sadaa rahti nahi jo ek haalat par
aaraam ke the saathi kyaa kyaa
jab vaqt padaa to koi nahi
sab dost hai apne matlab ke
duniyaa me kisi kaa koi nahi
duniyaa me kisi kaa koi nahi

kal chalte the jo ishaaro par
kal chalte the jo ishaaro par
ab milti nahi hai unki nazar
ab milti nahi hai unki nazar
ya chaahnewale laakho the ya puchanewala koi nahi
aaraam ke the saathi kyaa kyaa
jab vaqt padaa to koi nahi
jab vaqt padaa to koi nahi

jaisaa ki hai mujh par vaqt pada
jaisaa ki hai mujh par vaqt pada
aisaa na koi bebas hogaa
aisaa na koi bebas hogaa
jine ko sahara koi nahi marne ko bahana koi nahi
aaraam ke the saathi kyaa kyaa
jab vaqt padaa to koi nahi
jab vaqt padaa to koi nahi

Trust not in fortune, nor in fleeting beauty, nor in fleeting desire,
This world is ever-changing, never fixed on a single pyre.
Companions of comfort, a legion once bright,
When hardship arrived, not a soul in sight.
All friends are of purpose, their motives concealed,
In this world of illusion, nothing is truly revealed.
In this world of illusion, nothing is truly revealed.

Those who once danced to your whispered command,
Now their gaze averts, from your outstretched hand.
Once, a million admirers, now silence and dread,
Companions of comfort, all vanished, all fled.
When hardship arrived, not a soul in sight.
When hardship arrived, not a soul in sight.

As the weight of time crushes, as it bears down on me,
No one has ever felt such utter misery.
No solace in living, no reason to stay,
Companions of comfort have all gone away.
When hardship arrived, not a soul in sight.
When hardship arrived, not a soul in sight.
