koi umeed bar nahi aati
koi surat najar nahin aati
koi umeed bar nahin aati
koi surat najar nahin aati
koi umeed

hum waha hai, jaha se humko bhi
hum waha hai, jaha se humko bhi
kuch hamari khabar nahi aati
kuch hamari khabar nahi aati
koi umeed bar nahin aati

jaanta hu shababe-taato-zahad
jaanta hu shababe-taato-zahad
par tabiyat idhar nahin aati
par tabiyat idhar nahin aati
koi umeed

kaabe kis munh se jaaoge gaalib
kaabe kis munh se jaaoge gaalib
sharm tumko magar nahin aati
sharm tumko magar nahin aati
koi umeed bar nahin aati
koi surat najar nahin aati

No hope breaks the dawn,
No face reflects the light.
No hope.

We are there, from where even we,
From where even we,
Know nothing of ourselves.
Know nothing.
No hope.

I know the fire of youth and faith,
I know the fire,
But the heart does not turn this way.
The heart does not.
No hope.

To Kaaba, with what face, Ghalib,
With what face?
Shame touches you not,
Not at all.
No hope breaks the dawn,
No face reflects the light.
No hope.
No hope.
