yeh jindagi mujhko kis mod pe laai
yeh jindagi mujhko kis mod pe laai
ik or hai dariya ik or hai khaayi

haalaat hai kaise kisko bataau main
yeh daastaan apni kisko sunaau main
khaamosh hai yeh lab dil bejubaan hai

This life, to what bend has it brought me?
This life, to what bend has it brought me?
A sea on one side, a chasm on the other.

How dire are these straits, to whom can I tell?
This tale of my plight, to whom can I spell?
Silent are these lips, the heart, it's mute plea.
