kahte hain ki ye duniya hain, bazaar vafa ka
dekha na magar koi, kharidar vafa ka
duniya se kya kare vafa
vafa ke badle mile jafa
duniya se kya kare vafa
vafa ke badle mile jafa
dekhi jamane teri ada

de ke dil dekha, pyar hain dhokha
pyar ka dhokha koi khaye na
ho jite ji mar jaye na
karke mohabbat hamne ye samjha
koi ye rog lagaye na
o apna aap gavaye na
gam se hain dil bhara hua
jakhme jigar bhi hara huaa
dekhi jamane teri ada
duniya se kya kare vafa
vafa ke badle mile jafa
dekhi jamane teri ada

ankhiya na milti, kaliya na khilti
khil ke na baag ujadte
ho mil ke dil na bichhadte
karti jo duniya kadar vafa ki
ban ke na khel bigadte
ho ban ke na khel bigadte
kahta dil jala hua
pyar me kiska bhala hua
kahta dil jala hua
pyar me kiska bhala hua
dekhi jamane teri ada
duniya se kya kare vafa
vafa ke badle mile jafa
dekhi jamane teri ada

They say this world, a marketplace of faith,
Yet none have I seen, purchasing love's embrace.
What trust can we give this world's deceit?
For faithfulness, we find only defeat.
What trust can we give this world's deceit?
For faithfulness, we find only defeat.
I've witnessed, O world, your perfidious feat.

I offered my heart, saw love as a lie,
May none succumb to love's cruel cry.
May they not die while still alive,
Through love's embrace, I now perceive,
Let no one this affliction contrive,
Lest they lose themselves, and barely survive.
With sorrow, my heart is overflowing,
My wounded soul, forever growing.
I've witnessed, O world, your perfidious feat.
What trust can we give this world's deceit?
For faithfulness, we find only defeat.
I've witnessed, O world, your perfidious feat.

If eyes never met, nor blossoms unfurled,
Gardens wouldn't wither in the world.
If hearts, once united, did not depart,
If the world valued true love's art,
Games wouldn't crumble, torn apart.
Games wouldn't crumble, torn apart.
My burning heart whispers its plea,
Who finds fortune in love's decree?
My burning heart whispers its plea,
Who finds fortune in love's decree?
I've witnessed, O world, your perfidious feat.
What trust can we give this world's deceit?
For faithfulness, we find only defeat.
I've witnessed, O world, your perfidious feat.
