dunia ye dunia
dunia ye dunia are kaisi hai ye dunia
yaha koi nahi mera na kisi ka dunia ye dunia
dunia ye dunia are kaisi hai ye dunia
yaha koi nahi mera na kisi ka dunia ye dunia

kaun jane meri manjil hai kaha
meet ki sadko pe mai akeli hu yaha
bhul gayi mahfil pe apni lut gayi dunia
dunia ye dunia

muskil pe apno ka sath na mile to
lutti dunia ko bhagwan na mile to
maut ke hatho bikegi jhuk jhuk kar ye dunia
dunia ye dunia
dunia ye dunia are kaisi hai ye dunia
yaha koi nahi mera na kisi ka
dunia ye dunia

This world, this world,
A world of what design?
None belong to me, nor I to thine,
This world, this world.

This world, this world,
A world of what decree?
None are mine, nor I am free,
This world, this world.

Who knows where my journey ends?
Upon these friendless, fading bends,
I wander, lost, the banquet spurned,
This world has turned.

When hardships rise, and kin depart,
And God is lost within the heart,
Then, bowed and broken, death will claim,
This world's lost name.

This world, this world,
A world of what despair?
None are mine, no one to share,
This world, this world.
