jis shakh par mera gharonda tha
wo shakh tut ke bikhar gayi
har tinka jalkar khak hua
aur khak bhi jane kidhar gayi
jab dil ki basti ujad gayi
jab dil ki basti ujad gayi
ye duniya ek virana hai
kabhi aankh me aansu ubhre to
kabhi aankh me aansu ubhre to
palko me use chhupana hai
pyar jivan bhar ka bandhan hai
bandhan hai bandhan hai bandhan hai

jab swarthi ban gaye apne hi
apno pe bharosa tut gaya
taqdeer ne aisi karwat li
gharbar bhi humse chhut gaya
aise me dard ke maro ka
aise me dard ke maro ka
na jane kahan thikana hai
kabhi aankh me aansu ubhre to
kabhi aankh me aansu ubhre to
palko me use chhupana hai
pyar jivan bhar ka bandhan hai
bandhan hai bandhan hai bandhan hai

The bough that bore my fragile nest,
It shattered, scattering to the ground.
Each tiny straw, consumed by flame,
And ash, dispersed, nowhere to be found.
When the heart's city lies in waste,
When the heart's city lies in waste,
This world, a desolate, empty space.
If tears should well within the eye,
If tears should well within the eye,
To hide them in the lashes' grace.
Love, a binding for all life's span,
A bond, a bond, a binding plan.

When those once close, grew selfish, cold,
Trust in the loved ones, broken, gone.
Fate's turning, a cruel, harsh decree,
And home and hearth were torn upon.
For those afflicted, wounded deep,
For those afflicted, wounded deep,
No haven, where can they reside?
If tears should well within the eye,
If tears should well within the eye,
To hide them in the lashes' glide.
Love, a binding for all life's span,
A bond, a bond, a binding plan.
