ajib saneha, mujh par guzar gaya yaro
ajib saneha, mujh par guzar gaya yaro
mai apane saye se
mai apane saye se, kal rat dar gaya yaro
ajib saneha

har ek naqsh, tamanna ka ho gaya dhudhala
har ek naqsh, tamanna ka ho gaya dhudhala
har ek zakhm, mere dil ka bhar gaya yaro
har ek zakhm, mere dil ka bhar gaya yaro
ajib saneha

bhatak rahi thi
bhatak rahi thi, jo kashti vo gaqr-e-ab hui
chadha hua tha, jo dariya utar gaya yaro
chadha hua tha, jo dariya utar gaya yaro
ajib saneha

vo kaun tha, vo kahan ka tha, kya hua tha use
suna hai, aaj koi shakhs mar gaya yaro
suna hai, aaj koi shakhs mar gaya yaro
ajib saneha mujh par guzar gaya yaro
mai apane saye se kal rat dar gaya yaro
ajib saneha

A strange fate, my friends, has befallen me,
A strange fate, my friends, has befallen me.
From my own shadow,
From my own shadow, last night I fled, my friends,
A strange fate.

Each etched desire, has faded to a haze,
Each etched desire, has faded to a haze,
Each wound within my heart, has healed, my friends,
Each wound within my heart, has healed, my friends,
A strange fate.

The ship adrift,
The ship adrift, has sunk beneath the waves,
The surging river, has receded, my friends,
The surging river, has receded, my friends,
A strange fate.

Who was he, where did he come from, what became of him?
They say, today a soul has passed, my friends,
They say, today a soul has passed, my friends,
A strange fate, has befallen me, my friends,
From my own shadow, last night I fled, my friends,
A strange fate.
