kaisa hai ye shrap haye re
kaisa hai ye pap
apni ladali beti ko
pahchan saka na bap
haye re kismat ki ye kahani
haye re kismat ki ye kahani
hardy me aag sulagati
nain se bahata hai pani
haye re kismat ki ye kahani
haye re kismat ki ye kahani

hath laga to sab sukh jal gaye
koi na sathi bhag badal gaye
hath laga to sab sukh jal gaye
koi na sathi bhag badal gaye
hoke suhagan firati abhagan
duniya se anjani
haye re kismat ki ye kahani
haye re kismat ki ye kahani

sapno ka wo bag ujad gya
chand sa sundar rup bigad gya
sapno ka wo bag ujad gya
chand sa sundar rup bigad gya
ban ban bhatke piya piya rat ke
koi dard diwani
haye re kismat ki ye kahani
haye re kismat ki ye kahani

What curse is this, oh woe,
What sin has bloomed?
A father's eyes, could not know,
His daughter, entombed.
Oh, this tale of fate's design,
Oh, this tale of fate's design,
In the heart, a fire's ember,
From the eyes, a weeping brine.
Oh, this tale of fate's design,
Oh, this tale of fate's design.

Touch brought only ashes and blight,
All companions fled, in darkest night.
Touch brought only ashes and blight,
All companions fled, in darkest night.
Once a bride, now misfortune's child,
Lost and unknown to all the world's eye.
Oh, this tale of fate's design,
Oh, this tale of fate's design.

The garden of dreams, now in ruin lies,
A moonlit beauty, marred before our eyes.
The garden of dreams, now in ruin lies,
A moonlit beauty, marred before our eyes.
Wandering lost, calling "Beloved, oh Beloved,"
A heart in pain, a soul gone mad.
Oh, this tale of fate's design,
Oh, this tale of fate's design.
