charon taraf hain
charon tarf hain jang baba jina hua hain tang baba
bole mast malang baba bole mast malang baba
charon tarf hain jang baba jina hua hain tang baba
bole mast malang baba bole mast malang baba
dil se dil ki duri kyu hain
dil se dil ki duri kyu hain aakhir ye majburi kyu hain
jivan ek majduri kyu hain kaisa hain ye dhang baba
bole mast malang baba bole mast malang baba

ambar pe hain khuda ka dera
ambar pe hain khuda ka dera jang pe charo aur andhera
lambi raat hain dur swera duniya hain ya surang baba
bole mast malang baba bole mast malang baba
charon taraf hain
charon tarf hain jang baba jina hua hain tang baba
bole mast malang baba bole mast malang baba
bole mast malang baba bole mast malang baba

Everywhere now,
Everywhere, a war, Baba, living's grown so sore, Baba.
Says the ecstatic, carefree one,
Says the ecstatic, carefree one.
Everywhere now, a war, Baba, living's grown so sore, Baba.
Says the ecstatic, carefree one,
Says the ecstatic, carefree one.
Why this distance 'twixt heart and heart?
Why this compulsion, this separation's art?
Why is life a labour, a work apart?
What is this plight, Baba?
Says the ecstatic, carefree one,
Says the ecstatic, carefree one.

In the heavens, God's abode,
In the heavens, God's abode, war's shadow, a darkened road.
Long is the night, the dawn delayed,
Is this world a tunnel, a darkened cascade?
Says the ecstatic, carefree one,
Says the ecstatic, carefree one.
Everywhere now,
Everywhere, a war, Baba, living's grown so sore, Baba.
Says the ecstatic, carefree one,
Says the ecstatic, carefree one.
Says the ecstatic, carefree one,
Says the ecstatic, carefree one.
