khoya hai re khoya hai re chain kaha khoya hai re
jane kaha chipa hai re jane kaha soya hai re
khoya hai re khoya hai re chain kaha khoya hai re
jane kaha chipa hai re jane kaha soya hai re

chain chain sare dhunde fir bhi chain mil na paye re
kaun le gaya churake baitha hai kaha chipaye
ek hath me jo aaye duje hath fisla jaye
kaise ham ise rijhae kaise ham ise manaye
bairi chain bairi chain bairi chain bairi chain
kis ghadi me kaun se pahar aayega kab ye chain

koi hai palke bichae koi hai ninde udaye
koi seene se lagaye koi bato me chipaye
koi mange koi paye koi khoye koi laye
koi to hame bataye kaha dhunde

Lost, ah, lost, where did peace depart?
Where does it hide, in what slumbering heart?
Lost, ah, lost, where did peace depart?
Where does it hide, in what slumbering heart?

Peace, we search for it, yet it's never found,
Who stole it, where is it now, earthbound?
In one hand held, the next it slips away,
How can we coax it, beg it to stay?
Enemy peace, enemy peace, a foe so keen,
In what hour, what moment, will peace be seen?

Some with lashes outstretched, some with sleep denied,
Some embrace it close, some in words confide.
Some beg for it, some find it, some lose it, some bring,
Can anyone tell us, where shall we sing?
