dekh liya tune gam ka tamasha
aag lage to duniya hi dekhe
dil ki lagi ko koi na jane dekh liya

gam ke bhawar me dil jo khoya
yaad me itna dil ko duboya
dhadak gaya kashti ka kaleja
lage kinare bhi ghabrane
dekh liya tune gam ka tamasha
ab na sata bedardi zamane dekh liya

kar hi gaye wo humse kinara
humne khuda ko lakh pukara
unse hamari baat jo bigdi
bigad gaye bankar ye fasane
dekh liya tune gam ka tamasha
ab na sata bedardi zamane dekh liya

aa hi gaye hai aankh me aansu
chha hi gaye hai gam ke badal
ab na miloge humse bichad kar
ab na miloge kisi bahane se
dekh liya tune gam ka tamasha
ab na sata bedardi zamane dekh liya

You have witnessed the spectacle of sorrow,
The world sees only flames that rage,
But none perceive the heart's own burning, seen.

Lost in the whirlpool of grief, my heart,
Drowned deep in memories, torn apart,
The ship's heart quaked, a fragile shell,
Even shores now tremble, fear they tell,
You have witnessed the spectacle of sorrow,
Spare me now, cruel world, your endless play, seen.

They have abandoned us, turned away,
We called on God, in desperate prayer,
When our words with them dissolved and died,
Fables rose from ashes, born of pain,
You have witnessed the spectacle of sorrow,
Spare me now, cruel world, your endless play, seen.

Now tears well up within my eyes,
Clouds of sorrow gather, darken skies,
Never will we meet again, apart,
Never will we meet by chance again,
You have witnessed the spectacle of sorrow,
Spare me now, cruel world, your endless play, seen.
