bhagwan kis kasur ki di hai ise saja
jindagi yahi hai to hai jindgi me hai kya
bhagwan kis kasur ki di hai ise saja
jindagi yahi hai to hai jindgi me hai kya
jindagi yahi hai to hai jindgi me hai kya

pehenli tune khud hatkadiya par auro ko bachaya
tu kya jane unke man main kitna pap samaya
aaj ye jana kyu ye papi dunya bachi huyi hai
tuz jaise aache logo se dharti tiki hui hai
bhagwan kis kasur ki di hai ise saja
jindagi yahi hai to hai jindgi me hai kya
jindagi yahi hai to hai jindgi me hai kya
jindagi yahi hai to hai jindgi me hai kya

For what sin, O Lord, this penance vast?
If this be life, what essence does it cast?
For what sin, O Lord, this penance deep?
If this be life, what secrets does it keep?
If this be life, what whispers in its sleep?

You bound yourself, yet others you did free,
Unknowing of the darkness they decree.
Now I perceive why wickedness still thrives,
On souls like yours, this weary earth survives.
For what sin, O Lord, this burden sent?
If this be life, what purpose is it lent?
If this be life, what questions are we meant?
If this be life, what truth is heaven-sent?
