kya khel khelta hai upar nakab dale
o aasman wale
tere karm anpkhe tere sitam nirale
o aasman wale o aasman wale

pal mein utar gayi hai duniya basi basai
jina kathin hua hai data teri duhaai
kaise juban kholu lab par pade hai tale
o aasman wale o aasman wale

aankho mein fir rahi hai biti hui kahani
roti hai chupke chupke dukh bhari jawani
karti hu ab tumhe takdeer ke hawale
o aasman wale
kya khel khelta hai upar nakab dale
o aasman wale o aasman wale

He plays a game, veiled high above,
O Sky, above.
Your deeds are strange, your torments, love,
O Sky, above, O Sky, above.

In a moment, the world descends, once built,
To live is hard, O Giver, your guilt.
How can I speak, when my lips are bound?
O Sky, above, O Sky, above.

My eyes recall the stories of old,
My youth weeps softly, a sorrow unfolds.
To fate I leave you, my heart's deep trove,
O Sky, above.
He plays a game, veiled high above,
O Sky, above, O Sky, above.
