chup ham bhi rahe, chup wo bhi rahe
fariyad jabaa par laaye na kabhi
duniya ne rasta rok liya
ham ja na sake, wo aa na sake
ab kaun sune rote huye dil ka fasana
bedrd jamana bada bedrd jamana
ab kaun sune rote huye dil ka fasana
bedrd jamana bada bedrd jamana

apno se shikayat hain, na gairo se gila hain
dukh dard ke maro se, khuda tak bhi khafa hain
takdir me din raat ka, rona hi likha hain
hansna bhi hain apne liye, rone ka bahana
bedrd jamana bada bedrd jamana

kyu hum se khushi chhin li, itna to bata de
kya hamne khata ki hain, jo tu itani saja de
isse to ye accha hain, hame zehar pila de
kab tak banenge julm ke, tiro ka nishana
bedrd jamana bada bedrd jamana

ae pyar ke raahi, dekho kudrat ke ishare
de te hain mohabbat ki gavahi ye sitare
ham dur sahi dil hain magar paas tumhare
hoga milan kabhi na kabhi, bhul na jana
bhul na jana

We both were silent, they were too,
No complaint escaped our lips anew.
The world had blocked the way ahead,
We couldn't reach, they couldn't tread.

Who now will heed the heart's lament,
This heartless age, so cruel, heaven-sent?
Who now will hear the tear-filled tale,
This heartless age will never fail.

No grievance whispered to kin, nor stranger's plea,
From sorrow's wounds, God seems to flee.
Fate's script, a nightly, daily tear,
Laughter's a mask, to hide the fear.
This heartless age, so cruel, so keen.

Why steal the joy, reveal the reason, pray?
What sin committed, to warrant this dismay?
Better the poison, a swifter release, they say,
How long to suffer arrows of pain?
This heartless age, again and again.

O traveler of love, see nature's sign,
The stars above, their love enshrine.
Though distant we, our hearts entwine,
Reunion waits, don't you forget,
Don't you forget.
