unake sitam ne lut liyaa
unake sitam ne lut liyaa
haay kyaa kare, haay kyaa kare
aainaa dil kaa tut gayaa
haay kyaa kare, haay kyaa kare

aansu bhi chhup ke so gaye
aansu bhi chhup ke so gaye
palako me rah ke kho gaye
aankho pe chhaayi kaali ghataa
aankho pe chhaayi kaali ghataa
haay kyaa kare, haay kyaa kare

sochaa thaa wo nibhaayege
sochaa thaa wo nibhaayege
yun na hame rulaayege, rulaayege
apano ne saath chhod diyaa
apano ne saath chhod diyaa
haay kyaa kare, haay kyaa kare

aabaad ye jahaan hai, aabaad ye jahaan hai
barabaad meri hi jaan hai
ai maut aa ke tu hi bataa
ai maut aa ke tu hi bataa
haay kyaa kare, haay kyaa kare
unake sitam ne lut liyaa
unake sitam ne lut liyaa
haay kyaa kare, haay kyaa kare

Their cruelty has plundered,
Their cruelty has plundered,
Alas, what can we do, what can we do?
The mirror of the heart has shattered.
Alas, what can we do, what can we do?

Tears, too, have hidden away,
Tears, too, have hidden away,
Lost within the lids, they stray.
A dark cloud has veiled the eyes,
A dark cloud has veiled the eyes,
Alas, what can we do, what can we do?

We thought they would remain,
We thought they would remain,
That they wouldn't make us cry, make us cry.
Even loved ones have departed,
Even loved ones have departed,
Alas, what can we do, what can we do?

The world is flourishing, the world is flourishing,
But only my soul is ruined.
Oh death, come, and tell me now,
Oh death, come, and tell me now,
Alas, what can we do, what can we do?
Their cruelty has plundered,
Their cruelty has plundered,
Alas, what can we do, what can we do?
