khushi to kaid me hai ye koi jina bhi jina hai
are zalim zamane tune dil ka chain chhina hai
rota hai mera dil kisko pukaru kya karu
jina bhi hai mushkil kisko pukaru kya karu
kisko pukaru kya karu, kya karu kya karu
rota hai mera dil, kisko pukaru kya karu

takdeer ne mujhko lut liya
har aas ka suraj dub gaya, har aas ka suraj dub gaya
takdeer ne mujhko lut liya
har aas ka suraj dub gaya, har aas ka suraj dub gaya
ye gam ki ghataye aisi uthi
ummid pe paani pher diya, ummid pe paani pher diya
ab dur hui manzil, kisko pukaru kya karu

ye phul khushi ke kaante hai
hum chupke chupke rote hai, chupke chupke rote hai
ae maut gavaahi dena tu
hum pyar pe kurba hote hai, hum pyar pe kurba hote hai
duniya hai badi kaatil, kisko pukaru kya karu
kisko pukaru kya karu, kya karu kya karu
rota hai mera dil, kisko pukaru kya karu

mar jaaye to itna kar dena
do aansu aa ke chadha dena, do aansu aa ke chadha dena
is pyar ki ujdi basti me
ik yaad ka dip jala dena, ik yaad ka dip jala dena
tum ho na sake haasil, kisko pukaru kya karu
kisko pukaru kya karu, kya karu kya karu
rota hai mera dil, kisko pukaru kya karu
rota hai mera dil

Joy is imprisoned, is this life at all?
Cruel world, you've stolen peace from my heart's hall.
My heart weeps, whom shall I call, what to do?
Life is a struggle, whom shall I call, what to do?
Whom shall I call, what to do, what to do, what to do?
My heart weeps, whom shall I call, what to do?

Fate has plundered me, left me bare,
Each hope's sun has drowned in despair, each hope's sun has drowned in despair.
Fate has plundered me, left me bare,
Each hope's sun has drowned in despair, each hope's sun has drowned in despair.
These clouds of sorrow have risen so high,
Washing away all hope, all hope is denied.
Now the destination is distant, whom shall I call, what to do?

These flowers of joy are thorns that pierce,
Silently, secretly, our tears immerse, secretly, secretly, our tears immerse.
Oh, death, bear witness, I pray,
That for love, we meet the universe, for love, we meet the universe.
The world is a cruel executioner, whom shall I call, what to do?
Whom shall I call, what to do, what to do, what to do?
My heart weeps, whom shall I call, what to do?

If I die, then do this small deed:
Offer two tears upon my seed, offer two tears upon my seed.
In this ravaged land of love and pain,
Light a lamp of remembrance, again, light a lamp of remembrance, again.
You could not be possessed, whom shall I call, what to do?
Whom shall I call, what to do, what to do, what to do?
My heart weeps, whom shall I call, what to do?
My heart weeps.
