duniya waalo
aao tumhe is duniya ki tasvir dikhaaye
kaise bani aur kaise bigdi
aurat ki takdir dikhaye
duniya waalo, duniya waalo

kuch din pahle ye aurat bhi thi
kisi ke dil ki raani thi
bachpan tha rangin
jawani pyar se bhari kahani thi
aaj na jaane kis majburi se faansi pe latki hai
kisi ne ispe julm kiya hai
tabhi to raah se bhatki hai
aurat jo kamjor bhi hai
majbur bhi hai, bechari
duniya waalo, duniya waalo

ye bhi ek aurat hai jisne acche
ghr me janam liya
baithi hai bajaar me isne aisa
kaun sa karam kiya
dharam ke thekedaaro ne hi bikne
par majbur kiya
jisne pyar diya isne
usi ne dil ko chur kiya
aurat jo kamjor bhi hai
majbur bhi hai, bechari
duniya waalo, duniya waalo

jaane kitne araama le ke
ye sasuraal me aai thi
pyaar mohabbat aur wafa ki
daulat hi sang laai thi
iska dosh garibi hai
jo sabne ise dhutkara hai
aaj isi ke pati ne isko
maut ke ghaat utara hai
aurat jo kamjor bhi hai
majbur bhi hai, bechari
duniya waalo, duniya waalo
aao tumhe is duniya ki tasvir dikhaaye
kaise bani aur kaise bigdi
aurat ki takdir dikhaye
duniya waalo, duniya waalo
duniya waalo, duniya waalo

O world,
Come, let me paint for you, this world's true face,
Show how it built, how it decayed,
The woman's fate, its shadowed trace.
O world, O world.

Not long ago, she too, a woman bright,
Was queen of a heart, in days of old.
Childhood held hues, a vibrant light,
Youth, a tale of love, to be told.
Now, by what force, what crushing plight,
Hangs from the gallows, taking flight?
Someone's cruelty, a venomous dart,
Led her astray, tore her apart.
A woman, weak, burdened by chains,
Compelled to suffer, endure the pains.
O world, O world.

Another woman, born to wealth and ease,
Now sits in the market, a broken thing.
What act of sin, did she appease?
By religion's guardians, shame they bring,
Forced to sell, forced to appease.
The love she gave, now shattered, a sting.
The very one, her heart did keep,
Shattered it, in slumber deep.
A woman, weak, burdened by chains,
Compelled to suffer, endure the pains.
O world, O world.

With countless dreams, she came to her new home,
Love, devotion, and faithfulness in tow,
A treasure, of all that could roam.
But poverty, a curse, its seeds did sow,
And scorn from all, she had to overcome.
Her husband, in a rage, did cast a blow,
To the depths of death, her soul to reap,
As she falls asleep.
A woman, weak, burdened by chains,
Compelled to suffer, endure the pains.
O world, O world.

Come, let me paint for you, this world's true face,
Show how it built, how it decayed,
The woman's fate, its shadowed trace.
O world, O world,
O world, O world.
