azab dasta hai meri jindagi ki
ke bachpan kisi ka jawani kisi ki
ke bachpan kisi ka jawani kisi ki
azab dasta hai meri jindagi ki
ke bachpan kisi ka jawani kisi ki
ke bachpan kisi ka jawani kisi ki

mukaddar ne mujhse ye kya dillagi ki
ke bachpan kisi ka jawani kisi ki
ke bachpan kisi ka jawani kisi ki

alag sabse hai meri dunia ki rashme
alag sabse hai meri dunia ki rashme
juba hai to wo bhi hai gairo ke bas me
juba hai to wo bhi hai gairo ke bas me
na pucho kahani meri bebasi ki
ke bachpan kisi ka jawani kisi ki
ke bachpan kisi ka jawani kisi ki

sikhaya gaya hai isharo pe chalna
sikhaya gaya hai isharo pe chalna
nigahe badalna dilo ko masalna
nigahe badalna dilo ko masalna
ada har ada meri hai bekashi ki
ke bachpan kisi ka jawani kisi ki
ke bachpan kisi ka jawani kisi ki
azab dasta hai meri jindagi ki
ke bachpan kisi ka jawani kisi ki
ke bachpan kisi ka jawani kisi ki

A strange servitude is this life of mine,
A childhood claimed, a youth that isn't mine.
A childhood claimed, a youth that isn't mine.
A strange servitude is this life of mine,
A childhood claimed, a youth that isn't mine.
A childhood claimed, a youth that isn't mine.

What jest has fate played out with me?
A childhood claimed, a youth that isn't mine.
A childhood claimed, a youth that isn't mine.

My world's customs, they stand so apart,
My world's customs, a world torn apart.
My tongue itself, controlled by strangers' art,
My tongue itself, not mine at the start.
Don't ask the tale of my despair,
A childhood claimed, a youth that isn't mine.
A childhood claimed, a youth that isn't mine.

I'm taught to move at silent command,
I'm taught to move at silent command,
To shift my gaze, and crush the heart's strand,
To shift my gaze, and crush the heart's strand,
Each gesture bears a life's defeat.
A childhood claimed, a youth that isn't mine.
A childhood claimed, a youth that isn't mine.
A strange servitude is this life of mine,
A childhood claimed, a youth that isn't mine.
A childhood claimed, a youth that isn't mine.
