dukhi man mere sun mera kahana
jaha nahi chaina vaha nahi rahana
dukhi man mere

dard hamara koi na jane
apani garaj ke sab hai diwane
kis ke aage rona roye
desh paraya log begane

dukhi man mere sun mera kahana
jaha nahi chaina vaha nahi rahana
dukhi man mere

lakh yaha jholi phaila le
kuch nahi dege is jag wale
pathar ke dil mom na hoge
chahe jitana nir bahale

dukhi man mere sun mera kahana
jaha nahi chaina vaha nahi rahana
dukhi man mere

apane liye kab hai ye mele
hum hai har ek mele me akele
kya payega usme rah kar
jo duniya jivan se khele
kya payega usme rah kar
jo duniya jivan se khele

dukhi man mere sun mera kahana
jaha nahi chaina vaha nahi rahana
dukhi man mere

O my weary heart, heed my plea,
Where peace is lost, do not you be.
O my weary heart, heed my word,
None understand the pain we've incurred.
For self alone, they fiercely yearn,
To whom can we turn, for whom to mourn?
This land unknown, the people strange,
O my weary heart, your fate to exchange.

Though you extend a million hand,
This world gives naught, across the land.
These hearts of stone will never bend,
Though oceans of tears, you now extend.
O my weary heart, hear my call,
For your own sake, you must now fall.

For whom do these festivals gleam?
In every crowd, alone we seem.
What will you find, by staying here?
In life's harsh game, hold back your tear.
O my weary heart, my final claim.
