zulm tumhaare sah na sake ham
sabr kaa daaman chhut gayaa
ik thes lagi aansu tapake
ik chot lagi dil tut gayaa
ik thes lagi aansu tapake
ik chot lagi dil tut gayaa
ik thes lagi

nazaro ki lagaavat dil ki lagi
sukh se nahi rahane deti kabhi
dil par tere gam me ye guzari
ik chhaalaa banaa aur phut gayaa
ik thes lagi aansu tapake
ik chot lagi dil tut gayaa
ik thes lagi
munh pher ke jaane vaale thahar
fariyaad to meri sunataa jaa

We could not bear your cruelty's weight,
Patience's veil torn, scattered, late.
A wound, a tear's release, then fell,
A blow that shattered, broke the shell.

The eyes' deceit, the heart's embrace,
Never allow a peaceful space.
My heart, through grief, its journey trod,
A blister formed, then broke to God.

Turn, you who turn your face and leave,
Hear my beseeching, do not grieve
My plea unheard, as I implore.
Then turn, and listen, and no more.
