karwat wo jamane ne badli
na idhar ke rahe na udhar ke rahe
gum marne ka nahi na jine ki khushi
na idhar ke rahe na udhar ke rahe
karwat wo jamane ne badli

jis bag ko sicha tha hamne
pal bhar me fiza ne lut liya haye lut liya
mitti me jawani milti rahi
na idhar ke rahe na udhar ke rahe
karwat wo jamane ne badli

jis phul ko samjhe phul the hum
afsos wahi kata nikla kata nikla
khilne hi na payi dil ki kashi
na idhar ke rahe na udhar ke rahe
karwat wo jamane ne badli

barbad hona likha tha
duniya me jo hum barbad hue barbad hue
takdir ke aage kuch na chali
na idhar ke rahe na udhar ke rahe
karwat wo jamane ne badli

The world has turned its weary face,
Stranded, neither here nor there, we roam.
No grief for death, nor joy in life's embrace,
Stranded, neither here nor there, our home.
The world has turned its weary face.

The garden we so fiercely kept,
The breeze, in moments, stole, and stole, and stole!
Youth melted back where dust had slept,
Stranded, neither here nor there, our soul.
The world has turned its weary face.

The bloom we thought, a fragrant grace,
Alas, a thorn, it pierced, it pierced!
The heart's desire, it found no space,
Stranded, neither here nor there, immersed.
The world has turned its weary face.

To ruin, fate had signed our name,
And ruined, we became, we became.
Against the stars, no strength, no claim,
Stranded, neither here nor there, the same.
The world has turned its weary face.
