ek masla hai jo sulajhata nahi hai
ek baadal hai jo barasta nahi
kuch the parinde ghar chhod ke jo ud baithe
kuchh chehare peele peele dar dar ke jo jee te hai
jannat me kiska majahab kya hota hai
rota hai aasmaan jab baccha rota hai
taakat ki ladaayi ladani hai tum lad lo
ye jannat hai jinki unko to jeene do
jeene do ab jeene do, jeene do ab jeene do

gumjadaa chehare khud ki talaash me jo gum hai
bekaraar aankhe kuchh sune daricho pe nam hai
andhere hai gahare suraj bhi maddam maddam hai
roshani ki gujaarish hai ek gujaarish hai
jeene do ab jeene do, jeene do ab jeene do
taakat ki ladaayi ladani hai tum lad lo
ye jannat hai jinki unko to jeene do

A knot remains, forever tied,
A cloud that weeps not, left to hide.
Some birds took flight, from homes they knew,
And faces pale, with fear imbued,
That barely breathe, through lives they feign.
In Paradise, whose creed shall reign?
The heavens weep, when infants cry.
If battles rage, then let them vie,
But let the blessed, their heaven keep,
Let them live, and let them sleep.

Sorrowful faces, lost in self,
Unrestful eyes, on empty shelf,
And windows weep, in silent grief,
The shadows deepen, bringing brief
The sun's soft glow, a fading gleam,
A whispered plea, a hopeful dream,
For light to break, for light to mend,
Let them live, and life extend.
If battles rage, then let them vie,
But let the blessed, their heaven keep,
Let them live, and let them sleep.
