maula ye kis dagar pe chal padi hai zindagi
maula ye kis dagar pe chal padi hai zindagi
har taraf hai bebasi hi bebasi
ek pal nahi dil ko karar
is baazi me jeet ke bhi hai har
har saans me gum chupa
o maula ye bata ye zindagi hai kya
o maula ye bata ye zindagi hai kya
maula ve maula ve maula ve
maula ve maula ve maula ve

gam seene me thahra hai andhera aur bhi gahra hai maula
gam seene me thahra hai andhera aur bhi gahra hai
saanse aati jati hai lekin har saans pe pahra hai
na manzil ki hai khabar na manzil ki hai khabar
na raaho ka hi hai pata
o maula ye bata ye zindagi hai kya
o maula ye bata ye zindagi hai kya
maula ve maula ve maula ve
maula ve maula ve maula ve

ab jayenge kaun se dar phunk diya apna hi ghar
maula ve maula ve maula ve
ab jayenge kaun se dar phunk diya apna hi ghar
rab jaane kamjor hu main ya ke main hu takatvar
na manzil ki hai khabar na manzil ki hai khabar
na raho ka hi hai pata
o maula ye bata ye zindagi hai kya maula
o maula ye bata ye zindagi hai kya
maula maula maula maula

zindagi ko meri koi naam de de maula
dede ab koi anzam de de maula
zindagi ko meri koi naam de de maula
dede ab koi anzam de de maula
bigdi bana de meri bigdi bana de maula
sar hai jhukaya tere naam se
dikha de mujhe raasta
o maula ye bata ye zindagi hai kya
o maula ye bata ye zindagi hai kya
o maula ye bata ye zindagi hai kya

My Lord, on what path has life embarked?
My Lord, on what path has life embarked?
Helplessness surrounds, a suffocating shroud.
Not a moment’s peace, the heart disavowed.
In this game, victory yields only defeat.
Sorrow hides in every breath we meet.
Oh, my Lord, tell me, what is this life?
Oh, my Lord, tell me, what is this life?
My Lord, oh my Lord, oh my Lord…
My Lord, oh my Lord, oh my Lord…

Sorrow dwells within, the darkness deepens, Lord.
Sorrow dwells within, the darkness deepens.
Breaths come and go, but a constant watch is kept,
No word of the destination, no journey's path, no step.
No news of the goal, no news of the goal,
No knowledge of the way.
Oh, my Lord, tell me, what is this life?
Oh, my Lord, tell me, what is this life?
My Lord, oh my Lord, oh my Lord…
My Lord, oh my Lord, oh my Lord…

To which door shall I now turn, having burned my own home?
My Lord, oh my Lord, oh my Lord…
To which door shall I now turn, having burned my own home?
God knows if I am weak, or if I am strong.
No news of the goal, no news of the goal,
No knowledge of the way.
Oh, my Lord, tell me, what is this life?
Oh, my Lord, tell me, what is this life?
My Lord, my Lord, my Lord, my Lord...

Bestow upon my life a name, my Lord.
Grant it now an ending, my Lord.
Bestow upon my life a name, my Lord.
Grant it now an ending, my Lord.
Mend what is broken, mend it, my Lord.
Heads bowed low before Your name.
Show me the way.
Oh, my Lord, tell me, what is this life?
Oh, my Lord, tell me, what is this life?
Oh, my Lord, tell me, what is this life?
