kya mil gaya bhagavan
kya mil gaya bhagavan tumhe dil ko dukhake
aramano ki nagari me meri ag lagake
kya mil gaya bhagavan
kya mil gaya bhagavan tumhe dil ko dukhake
aramano ki nagari me meri ag lagake

ham soch rahe the kabhi dil dil se milege
jivan me mohabbat ke kabhi phul khilege
ye kya thi khabar tum ko na aegi daya bhi
rakh doge kisi din meri duniya ko mitake
aramano ki nagari me meri ag lagake
kya mil gaya bhagavan

akash hi dushman nahi, dushman hai zami bhi
dukh ke mare to nahi, chain kahi bhim, chain kahi bhi
is jine se ab maut hi ajaye to achchha
jab chhut gaya hath unaka mere hatho me aake
aramano ki nagari me meri ag lagake
kya mil gaya bhagavan

malum na tha khaq me mil jayege ek dil
khud apani hi ham ag me jal jaege ek dil
tumase to ye ummid na thi jal ke khevayya
naiyya ko dubo doge kinare pe lake
aramano ki nagari me meri ag lagake
kya mil gaya bhagavan
kya mil gaya bhagavan tumhe dil ko dukhake
aramano ki nagari me meri ag lagake

What solace did you find, O God,
In breaking my heart,
In setting fire to the city of my dreams?
What solace did you find, O God?

I dreamt of hearts entwined,
Of love's flowers blooming in my life.
Did no compassion touch you,
To shatter my world one day?
In setting fire to the city of my dreams?

The sky itself is not the foe,
The earth, too, is a tormentor.
No peace remains amidst sorrow,
Death's embrace would be a welcome guest.
When their hand slipped from mine,
After holding mine so tight,
In setting fire to the city of my dreams?

I never knew one heart would turn to dust,
That one heart would burn in its own flame.
From you, my helmsman, I did not expect this,
To drown my boat upon the shore's approach.
In setting fire to the city of my dreams?
What solace did you find, O God,
In breaking my heart,
In setting fire to the city of my dreams?
