jag ka murkh aana
kyu karta murkh asha
juthi hai teri abhilash
kyu karta murkh asha
kyu karta murkh asha

jis baag me thi hariyali
mai aaj waha ka maali
jis baag me thi hariyali
mai aaj waha ka maali
mogha me rota maali
mogha me rota maali
duniya karegi thamasha
kyu karta murkh asha
kyu karta murkh asha
juthi hai teri abhilash
kyu karta murkh asha
kyu karta murkh asha

The world's fool arrives,
Why does he cling to hope?
False are your desires,
Why does he cling to hope?
Why does he cling to hope?

In the garden once verdant,
I am now the gardener,
In the garden once verdant,
I am now the gardener.
The gardener weeps on the grave,
The gardener weeps on the grave.
The world will make a spectacle,
Why does the fool cling to hope?
Why does the fool cling to hope?
False are your desires,
Why does the fool cling to hope?
Why does the fool cling to hope?
