ek hasrat thi ki aanchal ka mujhe pyaar mile
ek hasrat thi ki aanchal ka mujhe pyaar mile
maine manzil ko talasha mujhe bazar mile
zindagi aur bata tera irada kya hai
ek hasrat thi ki aanchal ka mujhe pyaar mile
maine manzil ko talasha mujhe bazar mile

mujhko paida kiya sansaar me do laasho ne
mujhko paida kiya sansaar me do laasho ne
aur barbaad kiya qaum ke ayyaasho ne
tere daaman me bata maut se zyada kya hai
zindagi aur bata
zindagi aur bata tera irada kya hai
ek hasrat thi ki aanchal ka mujhe pyaar mile
maine manzil ko talasha mujhe bazar mile

jo bhi tasvir banata hu bigad jaati hai
jo bhi tasvir banata hu bigad jaati hai
dekhte-dekhte duniya hi ujad jaati hai
meri kashti tera tufaan se vaada kya hai
zindagi aur bata
zindagi aur bata tera irada kya hai
ek hasrat thi ki aanchal ka mujhe pyaar mile
maine manzil ko talasha mujhe bazar mile

tune jo dard diya uski qasam khaata hu
tune jo dard diya uski qasam khaata hu
itna zyada hai ki ehsaan se daba jaata hu
meri taqdir bata aur taqaaza kya hai
zindagi aur bata
zindagi aur bata tera irada kya hai
ek hasrat thi ki aanchal ka mujhe pyaar mile
maine manzil ko talasha mujhe bazar mile

maine jazbaat ke sang khelte daulat dekhi
maine jazbaat ke sang khelte daulat dekhi
apni aankho se mohabbat ki tijaarat dekhi
aisi duniya me mere vaaste rakha kya hai
zindagi aur bata
zindagi aur bata tera irada kya hai
ek hasrat thi ki aanchal ka mujhe pyaar mile
maine manzil ko talasha mujhe bazar mile

aadami chaahe to taqadir badal sakta hai
aadami chaahe to taqadir badal sakta hai
puri duniya ki vo tasvir badal sakta hai
aadami soch to le uska irada kya hai
aadami soch to le uska irada kya hai

A longing bloomed for a mother's embrace,
A longing bloomed for a haven of grace.
I sought a goal, found only a marketplace,
Life, tell me now, what do you embrace?
A longing bloomed for a mother's embrace,
I sought a goal, found only a marketplace.

Born in a world of two empty shells,
Born in a world of two empty shells,
Ruined by those who in pleasure dwells.
Tell me, in your grasp, what more than death unveils?
Life, tell me now,
Life, tell me now, what do you embrace?
A longing bloomed for a mother's embrace,
I sought a goal, found only a marketplace.

Each image I craft, dissolves from view,
Each image I craft, dissolves from view,
Before my eyes, the world crumbles too.
My ship, tell me, what pact do you accrue
With the storm?
Life, tell me now,
Life, tell me now, what do you embrace?
A longing bloomed for a mother's embrace,
I sought a goal, found only a marketplace.

By the pain you bestow, I swear this vow,
By the pain you bestow, I swear this vow,
It overwhelms, I bow down somehow.
My fate, tell me, what do you allow?
Life, tell me now,
Life, tell me now, what do you embrace?
A longing bloomed for a mother's embrace,
I sought a goal, found only a marketplace.

I saw wealth play with emotions' strings,
I saw wealth play with emotions' strings,
With my own eyes, love’s commerce springs.
In such a world, what hope does life bring
For me?
Life, tell me now,
Life, tell me now, what do you embrace?
A longing bloomed for a mother's embrace,
I sought a goal, found only a marketplace.

If man wills, he can his destiny mend,
If man wills, he can his destiny mend,
He can reshape the world, transcend.
Let man consider, what does he intend?
Let man consider, what does he intend?
