rishte bharose chaahat yakin
unn sab ka daman abb chaak hai
samajhe the haathon mein hai jameen
muthhi jo kholi bass khaak hai, dil mein yeh shor hai kyun
imaan kamjor hai kyun, naazuk yeh dor hai kyun
kesariya balam

The bonds, the faith, the love, the trust,
All shattered like a crumbling nest.
We thought the world within our grasp,
But opened hands revealed mere dust, the heart's lament.

Why this hollow, echoing plea?
Why is faith so frail, you see?
Why does this fragile thread now break?
O saffron lover, awake.
