bacha hai na koi
raha hai na koi
luta har koi yaha aise
kisi ki chali na
na kisi ki chalegi
chale jayenge sab
zamane se
yahi hota hai, yahi hona hai
yahi sach hai, samjha karo
kaise fasa hu, mere yaar
kisko batau, mere haal
sab hoshiyar
kis pe karu, mai aitbar

ye duniya hai chhoti
badi ek roti
kai log isko samjhte nahi
ye kam hai, ye jyada
ye pura hai, ye aadha
isi pe lutana nahi zindagi
har ek pal hai aata
har ek pal hai jata
isi pal me jeeya karo
kaise fasa hu, mere yaar
kisko batau, mere haal
sab hoshiyar
kis pe karu, mai aitbar
ha sab hoshiyar
kis pe karu, mai aitbar

No one remains,
No one will stay.
All are plundered here,
None escape this way.
None have won,
None will ever be free,
All will depart
From the world's decree.

This is the way,
This is how it must be,
Embrace the truth,
And truly see.
How trapped I am, my friend,
To whom can I confess?
All are wise,
In whom can I place my trust?

This world is small,
A single bread,
So many fail to grasp it,
Its measure unsaid.
This is less, this is more,
This is complete, this half-done,
Do not squander life
Upon this one.
Each moment comes,
Each moment goes,
Live within this moment now,
And let your spirit know.
How trapped I am, my friend,
To whom can I confess?
All are wise,
In whom can I place my trust?

Yes, all are wise,
In whom can I place my trust?
