duniya se shikayat kaun kare
duniya se shikayat kaun kare
arman bhara dil tut gaye
ye kaun aaya chupke chupke
khushiyo ke chaman ko lut gaya
duniya se shikayat kaun kare

ye kaisi bahare hain dil me
ye kaisi bahare hain dil me
aasha ke kamal murjhane lage
aasha ke kamal murjhane lage
wo daman bhi kya daman hain
wo daman bhi kya daman hain
jo haath me aakar chhut gaya
duniya se shikayat kaun kare

jalti hain chita jo dil me tere
aaho se laga ashqo se bujha
aaho se laga ashqo se bujha
jal jal ke mohabbat kahati hain
jal jal ke mohabbat kahati hain
dil tut gaya dil tut gaya dil tut gaya
dil tut gaya
hay ruth gaya

To whom shall the world's sorrows be confessed?
Broken are hearts, laden with desire.
Who came, unseen, with stealthy tread,
And plundered gardens of joy's fire?
To whom shall the world's sorrows be confessed?

What blooms now in this heart's desolate space?
Hope's lotus flowers begin to fade.
And what embrace is this, I ask,
That slips away, my hands betrayed?
To whom shall the world's sorrows be confessed?

The pyre that burns within your soul,
Extinguished by sighs, tears now fall.
Burning, love whispers its lament,
The heart is broken, broken, all.
Alas, it is estranged, the heart is gone.
