andhi qismat kise le chalegi kahaan haay koi jaane na
gam ke haatho kise bech degi kahaan haay koi jaane na
haay koi jaane na kis ghadi gher le gam ki kaali badali
haay koi jaane na kis ghadi gher le gam ki kaali badali
iske sar jaane kab ghat pade aasmaan, haaye koi jaane na

bachke chalte hai sab zindagi ki dagar phir bhi mushkil hai kyo
bachke chalte hai sab zindagi ki dagar phir bhi mushkil hai kyo
aake manzil pe kyo lut gaye kaarwa haay koi jaane na

hai ye kis ka chaman jisme kaliyo ko khilne ka haq bhi nahi
hai ye kis ka chaman jisme kaliyo ko khilne ka haq bhi nahi
hai vo saiya ji ya naasamajh baagbaan haay koi jaane na
andhi qismat kise le chalegi kahaan haay koi jaane naa

Whom will fate's blindness carry, where? Alas, none may know.
Into sorrow's hands, whom will it sell, where? Alas, none may know.
Alas, none may know, in what hour sorrow's dark cloud will descend,
Alas, none may know, in what hour sorrow's dark cloud will descend.
Upon whose head will the sky descend, alas, none may know.

Avoiding life's path, all still tread, yet why is the journey so hard?
Avoiding life's path, all still tread, yet why is the journey so hard?
Arriving at the destination, why are caravans plundered? Alas, none may know.

Whose garden is this, where the buds have no right to bloom?
Whose garden is this, where the buds have no right to bloom?
Is it the beloved, or a foolish gardener? Alas, none may know.
Whom will fate's blindness carry, where? Alas, none may know.
