o o o o taaaaa tanu tana taana
jind le gaya, woh dil ka jaani yeh but bejaan reh gaya
jind le gaya, jind le gaya
jind le gaya, woh dil ka jaani yeh but bejaan reh gaya
jind le gaya woh dil ka jaani yeh but bejaan reh gaya
jind le gaya
mehmaan chala gaya ghar se yeh khaali makaan reh gaya
jind le gaya, woh dil ka jaani
yeh but bejaan reh gaya, jind le gaya

khaabon si takdire khaabon si takdire kab banati hai
paani pe tasbire paani pe tasbire kab banati hai
na rang raha koyi baaki, na koyi nishaan reh gaya
jind le gaya ,jind le gaya woh dil ka jaani
yeh but bejaan reh gaya, jind le gaya

uss aandhi ka uss tufaan ka jor kisi ko yaad nahi hai
aayi thi ik roj kayaamat, aur kisi ko yaad nahi hai
bas ek mera dil tuta, yeh saara jahaan reh gaya
jind le gaya ,jind le gaya woh dil ka jaani
yeh but bejaan reh gaya, jind le gaya

apane jakhmo apane sadamo se main kitani sharminda hoon
kya kaaran hai kya hai sabab jo aaj bhi abb bhi main jinda hoon
lagata hai ke mera baaki koyi imtehaan reh gaya
jind le gaya , jind le gaya woh dil ka jaani
yeh but bejaan reh gaya, jind le gaya
mehmaan chala gaya ghar se, yeh khaali makaan reh gaya
jind le gaya, woh dil ka jaani
yeh but bejaan reh gaya, jind le gaya, jind le gaya, jind le gaya

O, o, o, the string unwound, the weave undone.
Life he took, my heart's beloved, a statue left forlorn.
Life he took, life he took,
Life he took, my heart's beloved, a statue left forlorn.
Life he took, my heart's beloved,
a statue left forlorn, life he took.
The guest departed from the home, an empty shell remains.
Life he took, my heart's beloved,
a statue left forlorn, life he took.

Dreams like fates, dreams like fates, when do they ever bloom?
Images on water, images on water, when do they assume?
No color left, no trace remains, nothing to be seen.
Life he took, life he took, my heart's beloved,
a statue left forlorn, life he took.

The tempest's might, the storm's embrace, who can recall its sting?
Doomsday came one fateful day, and no one can the memory bring.
Only my heart is broken now, the whole world, lingering.
Life he took, life he took, my heart's beloved,
a statue left forlorn, life he took.

Ashamed I am of wounds I bear, the sorrows that reside.
What is the cause, what the reason, that I still abide?
It seems a trial still awaits, a test I must contend.
Life he took, life he took, my heart's beloved,
a statue left forlorn, life he took.
The guest departed from the home, an empty shell remains.
Life he took, my heart's beloved,
a statue left forlorn, life he took, life he took, life he took.
