sab kuch milkar kuch na mila sab kuch milkar kuch na mila
sab kuch milkar kuch na mila jane mujhse haye jane mujhse
kaha ho gayi kya khata kyu mili hai mujhe ye saza ye saza
sab kuch milkar kuch na mila sab kuch milkar kuch na mila

nagme gajle wo shayari nagme gajle wo shayari
mere gito ki zindagi ho gayi gum kahi dekh ke tanhaiya
rah gayi sath ye jalti parchhaiya jane mujhse haye jane mujhse
kaha ho gayi kya khata kyu mili hai mujhe ye saza ye saza
sab kuch milkar kuch na mila sab kuch milkar kuch na mila

jivan sathi kyu kho gaya jivan sathi kyu kho gaya
gharse beghar mai ho gaya hum zud aho gaye kyu badi duriya
dur na ho saki kuch galat phamiya jane mujhse haye jane mujhse
kaha ho gayi kya khata kyu mili hai mujhe ye saza ye saza
sab kuch milkar kuch na mila sab kuch milkar kuch na mila

kya huya kyu huya aa gaya mai kaha
kya huya kyu huya aa gaya mai kaha
bhuj gaya dil jawa zindagi badguma
raste kho gaye manjile benisha aag ye kya lagi jal gaye do jaha
har taraf chha gaya har taraf chha gaya
ye dhua ye dhua bas dhua hi dhua

jane mujhse haye jane mujhse kaha ho gayi kya khata
kyu mili hai mujhe ye saza ye saza

All that gathered, yielded naught, all that gathered, yielded naught.
All that gathered, yielded naught, tell me, oh tell me, why,
Where did I stray, what offense did I give? Why this sentence, this penalty I bear?
All that gathered, yielded naught, all that gathered, yielded naught.

The melodies, the ghazals, the poetry, the melodies, the ghazals, the poetry,
The very life of my songs has vanished, lost to the sight of solitude.
Only these burning shadows remain, clinging to me, tell me, oh tell me, why,
Where did I stray, what offense did I give? Why this sentence, this penalty I bear?
All that gathered, yielded naught, all that gathered, yielded naught.

My life's companion, why was she lost, my life's companion, why was she lost?
From home I was exiled, we became estranged, why these vast distances?
Misunderstandings could not be dissolved, tell me, oh tell me, why,
Where did I stray, what offense did I give? Why this sentence, this penalty I bear?
All that gathered, yielded naught, all that gathered, yielded naught.

What happened, why did it happen? Where did I arrive?
What happened, why did it happen? Where did I arrive?
The youthful heart extinguished, life filled with distrust.
Lost are the paths, vanished the destinations, what fire has ignited, consuming two worlds?
Smoke has spread everywhere, smoke has spread everywhere,
This smoke, this smoke, only smoke.

Tell me, oh tell me, why, what offense did I give, what offense did I give?
Why this sentence, this penalty I bear?
