socha nahi tha takdir yaha layegi
manzil pe aate hi jaan chali jayegi
o yeh toh sikandar ne bhi nahi tha socha
aane se pehle khushi laut jayegi
hamne socha tha kya, aur kya se kya huwa
ja rahe hai aaj ye zamane ko batake
ye kya ho gaya rama re, yeh kya ho gaya maula re
ye kya ho gaya rama re, yeh kya ho gaya maula re

tera kusur tha ya mera kusur tha
tera gurur tha ya mera gurur tha
rabba mai itna bura nahi hota, tu agar bewafa nahi hota
itna bata mujhe kya mila tujhe
gam ke yeh kante meri raho me bichhake
yeh kya ho gaya rama re, yeh kya ho gaya maula re
yeh kya ho gaya rama re, yeh kya ho gaya maula re

I never dreamed fate would bring me here,
That at the journey's end, life would disappear.
Even Alexander, in his grand design,
Could not foresee joy would swiftly decline.

We envisioned a world, yet what became of all?
Leaving today, for the world to recall.
Oh, what has become, Rama, oh what's become, Lord?
Oh, what has become, Rama, oh what's become, Lord?

Was it your fault, or a failing of mine?
Your pride's display, or my own design?
Rabbi, I wouldn't be this undone, if you weren't untrue.
Tell me, what did you gain, what did you accrue?
Laying the thorns of sorrow upon my way.
Oh, what has become, Rama, oh what's become, Lord?
Oh, what has become, Rama, oh what's become, Lord?
