zindagi kis mod par layi mujhe, zindagi kis mod par layi mujhe
har khushi ruti najar aayi mujhe, har khushi ruti najar aayi mujhe
zindagi

jinke daman me suhane khwab the
jinke daman me suhane khwab the
us suni rato ki yad aayi mujhe
rato ki yad aayi mujhe, zindagi

ho gayi viran mahfil pyar ki
ho gayi viran mahfil pyar ki
ye fiza bhi ras na aayi mujhe
ye fiza bhi ras na aayi mujhe
ras na aayi mujhe, zindagi

milkar mujhse mere hosho hawas
milkar mujhse mere hosho hawas
ab jaha kahta hai saudayi mujhe
ab jaha kahta hai saudayi mujhe
kahta hai saudayi mujhe
zindagi kis mod par layi mujhe, zindagi

At what turn has life brought me, at what turn?
Each joy deserted, angered, turned away from me,
Life…

Those whose garments held dreams so sweet,
Those empty nights now rise in memory,
The nights, I remember, life…

The gathering of love, now desolate,
This very air, it offers no delight to me,
No delight at all, life…

Meeting my senses, my very mind,
The world now calls me a madman,
A madman they cry,
At what turn has life brought me, life…
