badi hai bekarari hai har ek sans gali
kise dhundhu pukaru mere jiwan ke sathi
badi hai bekarari hai har ek sans gali
kise dhundhu pukaru mere jiwan ke sathi
badi hai bekarari

naya suraj hai sang laya nayi kirno ki barate
mere sine me sandhya hai mere hisase me bad raate
mere jiwan ke sargam ka koi sur kho gaya
badi hai bekarari hai har ek sans gali
kise dhundhu pukaru mere jiwan ke sathi
badi hai bekarari

wahi bistar wahi chadar wahi yaade wahi ek main
wahi murda kitabe wahi ek un ka khola
magar ek sanp baitha hai jo tanhayi gawa ke
badi hai bekarari hai har ek sans gali
kise dhundhu pukaru mere jiwan ke sathi
badi hai bekarari

lage hai har taraf mele magar har bhid me tanha
atakta fir raha hun main koi mujhko bhi pahchane
nayi nshle naye chehre nayi botal magar khali
nahi meri jarurat hai ye dil pyasa najar khali
badi hai bekarari hai har ek sans gali
kise dhundhu pukaru mere jiwan ke sathi
badi hai bekarari hai har ek sans gali
kise dhundhu pukaru mere jiwan ke sathi
badi hai bekarari

A restlessness vast, each breath a curse,
Whom shall I seek, to whom I rehearse
My heart's deep plea, O life's companion?
A restlessness vast.

New sun ascends, with wedding of light,
But dusk dwells in me, and only night,
For my life's melody, a lost tone.
A restlessness vast, each breath a curse,
Whom shall I seek, to whom I rehearse
My heart's deep plea, O life's companion?
A restlessness vast.

The same bed, the same sheet, the same ghost of memory,
The same me, and same books, the same knitted wool to see
But a serpent now coils where solitude has been.
A restlessness vast, each breath a curse,
Whom shall I seek, to whom I rehearse
My heart's deep plea, O life's companion?
A restlessness vast.

Fairs abound, yet alone in the throng,
I stumble, lost, to whom do I belong?
New generations, fresh faces, new bottles, empty.
My need unheard, this heart, this gaze so empty.
A restlessness vast, each breath a curse,
Whom shall I seek, to whom I rehearse
My heart's deep plea, O life's companion?
A restlessness vast, each breath a curse,
Whom shall I seek, to whom I rehearse
My heart's deep plea, O life's companion?
A restlessness vast.
