dil hai viran hath khali hai
dil hai viran hath khali hai
zindagi ek benaam gali hai
dil hai viran hath khali hai
zindagi ek benaam gali hai
dil hai viran hath khali hai

zulm ki shab gale laga mujhko
zulm ki shab gale laga mujhko
roshani khatm hone wali hai
zindagi ek benaam gali hai
dil hai viran hath khali hai
kya huva sab jo ajnabi hai yaha
kya huva sab jo ajnabi hai yaha
ek surat to dekhi bhali hai
zindagi ek benaam gali hai
dil hai viran haath

ek nishani hai mausam-e-gul ki
ek nishani hai mausam-e-gul ki
sukhi patto ki wo jo dali hai
zindagi ek benaam gaali hai
dil hai viran hath khali hai

mere gham ka hisab kuch bhi nahi
mere gham ka hisab kuch bhi nahi
ehamiyat aapne badhayi hai
zindagi ek benaam gaali hai
dil hai viran hath khali hai
zindagi ek benaam gaali hai
dil hai viran hath khali hai
dil hai viran hath khali hai
dil hai viran

The heart is desolate, hands are bare,
The heart is desolate, hands are bare,
Life, a nameless curse to bear.
The heart is desolate, hands are bare,
The heart is desolate, hands are bare,
Life, a nameless curse to bear.

Embrace me, O night of cruelty,
Embrace me, O night of cruelty,
The light is fading, inevitably.
Life, a nameless curse to bear,
The heart is desolate, hands are bare.
What has happened, all are strangers here?
What has happened, all are strangers here?
At least one familiar face to revere.
Life, a nameless curse to bear,
The heart is desolate.

A memory of the season's bloom,
A memory of the season's bloom,
Of withered leaves on a branch, consumed.
Life, a nameless curse to bear,
The heart is desolate, hands are bare.

My sorrows, insignificant they seem,
My sorrows, insignificant they seem,
Yet, by your hand, they did gleam.
Life, a nameless curse to bear,
The heart is desolate, hands are bare,
Life, a nameless curse to bear.
The heart is desolate, hands are bare,
The heart is desolate, hands are bare,
The heart is desolate.
