zindagi tune lahu leke diya kuch bhi nahi
zindagi tune lahu leke diya kuch bhi nahi
tere daman me mere waste kya kuch bhi nahi
zindagi tune lahu leke diya kuch bhi nahi

mere in hatho ki chaho to talashi le lo
mere in hatho ki chaho to talashi le lo
mere hatho me lakiro ke siwa kuch bhi nahi
zindagi tune lahu leke diya kuch bhi nahi

humne dekha hai kai aise khudao ko yaha
humne dekha hai kai aise khudao ko yaha
samne jinke wo sachmuch ka khuda kuch bhi nahi
zindagi tune lahu leke diya kuch bhi nahi

ya khuda ab ke ye kis rang me aai hai bahar
ya khuda ab ke ye kis rang me aai hai bahar
zard hi zard hai pedo pe hara kuch bhi nahi
zindagi tune lahu leke diya kuch bhi nahi

dil bhi ek zid pe ada hai kisi bache ki tarah
dil bhi ek zid pe ada hai kisi bache ki tarah
ya to sab kuch hi ise chahiye ya kuch bhi nahi
zindagi tune lahu leke diya kuch bhi nahi
tere daman me mere waste kya kuch bhi nahi
zindagi tune lahu leke diya kuch bhi nahi

Life, you bled me dry, offered nothing,
Life, you bled me dry, offered nothing.
In your embrace, for me, is there nothing?
Life, you bled me dry, offered nothing.

Search these hands, if you desire, search them,
Search these hands, if you desire, search them.
In my hands, but lines, and nothing.
Life, you bled me dry, offered nothing.

We've seen so many gods paraded here,
We've seen so many gods paraded here,
Before whom, the true God, is nothing.
Life, you bled me dry, offered nothing.

O God, this spring bursts in this hue,
O God, this spring bursts in this hue,
Yellow on the boughs, green is nothing.
Life, you bled me dry, offered nothing.

My heart, a child, clings to its demand,
My heart, a child, clings to its demand,
It craves all, or it desires nothing.
Life, you bled me dry, offered nothing.
In your embrace, for me, is there nothing?
Life, you bled me dry, offered nothing.
