daman hai chak chak hai mera
ab jine ko kya
jine ka kuch maza hi nahi
ab jine ko kya

ab koi jike kya kare
jab koi aasra nahi
ab koi jike kya kare
jab koi aasra nahi
dil me tumhari yad hai yad hai
aur koi dusra nahi
ab koi jike kya kare
jab koi aasra nahi

aankhe milake pyar se
aankhe chura ke chal diye chal diye
aankhe chura ke chal diye chal diye
kuchh pal hi samjhe
dil se laga ke chal diye chal diye
dil me laga ke chal diye chla diye
aur koi jike kya kare
jab tumne kah diya nahi
pahle to aap the mere
aur ab kisi ke ho gaye
meri gali ko chhod ke
kiski gali me kho gaye kho gaye
kiski gali me kho gaye kho gaye
mujhko teri talash hai
tera to kuch pata nahi
ab koi jike kya kare
jab koi aasra nahi

My cloak is rent, my being torn,
What remains to live for now?
Life holds no savor, no delight,
What remains to live for now?

What use is life, when hope is gone?
What use is life, when solace fails?
Your memory, a heart's embrace,
No other presence now prevails.
What use is life, when hope is gone?

With eyes that met, with love's soft gleam,
Then turned away, and swiftly fled,
Then turned away, and swiftly fled,
Moments of grace, a fleeting dream,
Heart held so close, then cast ahead,
Heart held so close, then cast ahead.
What use is life, when you have said,
"No," and all my world has bled?

Once, you were mine, my all, my sun,
Now claimed by another's hold.
Leaving my street, your journey done,
In what new lane, are you now bold?
In what new lane, are you now bold?
I search for you, a constant quest,
But of your path, I'm left untold.
What use is life, when hope is gone?
