dur hui deepak se bati bichade jivan sathi
haye beraham duniya ki aisi reet hai
haye thokare khati bhatakti preet hai
beraham duniya ki aisi reet hai

pyar ko badnaam karte hai jahan wale
tu kaha par so raha o aasman wale
aashuo ki dhar me duba milan ka geet hai
beraham duniya ki aisi reet hai

pee milan ki aas lekar ladh rahi toofan se jo
haye pathar bankar baitha uske man ka meet hai
beraham duniya ki aisi reet hai
haye thokare khati bhatakti preet hai
beraham duniya ki aisi reet hai

ban gayi rani bikharin julm ye kaisa
ban gayi rani bikharin julm ye kaisa
juban khoyi roop khoya
julm ye kaisa julm ye kaisa

The wick, adrift from the lamp's embrace,
A life partner lost, in this heartless space.
Oh, the world's cruel, unchanging decree,
Love stumbles on, eternally.

They stain love's name, these mortals below,
Where do you slumber, heavens, do you know?
In tears, a song of reunion drowns,
Oh, the world's cruel, unchanging surrounds.

She drinks hope's draught, battling the storm,
While stone-hearted, her beloved takes form.
Oh, the world's cruel, unchanging decree,
Love stumbles on, eternally.
Oh, the world's cruel, unchanging surrounds.

A queen reduced to a beggar's plight,
Such cruelty, veiled in endless night.
Her voice silenced, beauty decayed,
Such cruelty, a life betrayed.
Such cruelty.
