ye dunia banai hai kis beraham ne
ye dunia banai hai kis beraham ne
bada julm dekha jamane me hamne
bada julm dekha jamane me hamne
ye dunia banai hai kis beraham ne
ye dunia banai hai kis beraham ne
bada julm dekha jamane me hamne
bada julm dekha jamane me hamne

wo rangin bachpan bach ke na aaya
jawani ne aate hi dil ko jalaya
uljhati gayi meri manjil ki rahe
uljhati gayi meri manjil ki rahe
diya mujhko dhokha mere har kadam ne
bada julm dekha jamane me hamne

amiro ne daulat se chahat kharidi
garibo ki masum kismat kharidi
insan sab jan kar bhi chup hai
insan sab jan kar bhi chup hai
tujhe bandh rakha hai kis bharm ne
bada julm dekha jamane me hamne

are aasma chup kyu hai bol kuch to
raham ke samunbdar dol kuch to
hai kis hal me dekhle teri dunia
hai kis hal me dekhle teri dunia
hai kis hal me dekhle teri dunia
ye kya kar diya tere rahmo karam ne
bada julm dekha jamane me hamne

badalte hai mausam to badalegi dunia
jaha ko badal kar hi dam legi dunia
sitaro se unchi hai hasti hamari
sitaro se unchi hai hasti hamari
nayi jan dali ummido ke gum ne
bada julm dekha jamane me hamne
bada julm dekha jamane me hamne

By what cruel hand was this world spun?
In this age, I've seen such cruelty done.
By what cruel hand was this world spun?
In this age, I've seen such cruelty done.

Childhood's hues, they couldn't endure,
As youth arrived, setting hearts aflame, for sure.
My path, it tangled, my goals obscured.
My path, it tangled, my goals obscured.
Deception's sting in every step, it's true.
In this age, I've seen such cruelty done.

The wealthy, with fortune, bought desire,
And the poor's innocence, they did acquire.
Humanity knows, yet stands in dread,
Humanity knows, yet stands in dread,
What illusion binds you, what does it do?
In this age, I've seen such cruelty done.

Oh, heavens, why silence, speak a plea!
Mercy's ocean, stir and break free!
Behold your world, and its plight to see.
Behold your world, and its plight to see.
Behold your world, and its plight to see.
What has your grace and kindness become?
In this age, I've seen such cruelty done.

As seasons shift, so too will this world spin,
Changing the world, until victory's win.
Our being, higher than the stars above,
Our being, higher than the stars above,
Hope's sorrow breathed in a life anew, it's begun.
In this age, I've seen such cruelty done.
In this age, I've seen such cruelty done.
