ab ye bata jaye kaha kismat ke thukraye huye
gam se ghabraye huye jine se uskaye huye
ab ye bata jaye kaha
raasta anjan manzil ka pata kuchh bhi nahi
apni raah me andhere ke siva kuchh bhi nahi
gam ke hai ghanghor baadal dur tak chaye huye
ab ye bata jaye kaha ye bata jaye kaha
ab ye bata jaye kaha

apne armano ka lutta karwa dekha kiye
aashiya jalta raha hum bejuba dekha kiye
chand aasu rah gaye palko pe tharraye huye
ab ye bata jaye kaha ye bata jaye kaha
ab ye bata jaye kaha

kya yahi duniya hai ae duniya ke rakhwale bata
kya yahi insaaf hai ae aasma wale bata
ji rahe hai sekado jine se sharmaye huye
ab ye bata jaye kaha ye bata jaye kaha
ab ye bata jaye kaha
ab ye bata jaye kaha kismat ke thukraye huye
gam se ghabraye huye jine se uskaye huye
ab ye bata jaye kaha

Where to wander, spurned by fate's cold hand,
By sorrow's shadows, driven from the land,
Weary of living, longing to be free,
Tell me, oh tell me, where can I now flee?

The path unknown, the destination veiled,
In my own way, the darkness has prevailed,
Gloom's heavy clouds, on every side they loom,
Tell me, oh tell me, where can I find room?
Tell me, oh tell me, where must I now roam?
Where to wander, where to find a home?

My hopes, a caravan, plundered and torn,
My nest of dreams, to ashes slowly born,
Only a tear remains, trembling on the eye,
Tell me, oh tell me, as the moments fly?
Tell me, oh tell me, where must I now roam?
Where to wander, where to find a home?

Is this the world, O keeper of the sphere?
Is this your justice, heavens, far and near?
Hundreds live on, ashamed of their own breath,
Tell me, oh tell me, facing certain death?
Tell me, oh tell me, where must I now roam?
Where to wander, where to find a home?
Where to wander, where to find a home?
Where to wander, spurned by fate's cold hand,
By sorrow's shadows, driven from the land,
Weary of living, longing to be free,
Tell me, oh tell me, where can I now flee?
