majbur wafa ki hatho se
ummed ka daman chhut gaya
duniya ne kuch aise julm kiye
ik thes lagi dil tut gaya

dil me jo aag hai
hum usko bujha bhi na sake
dil me jo aag hai
hum usko bujha bhi na sake
apni bigdi huyi taqdeer bana bhi na sake
apni bigdi huyi taqdeer bana bhi na sake
dil me jo aag hai

bebasi ne hume majbur kiya hai aisa
bebasi ne hume majbur kiya hai aisa
kisse-e-gham unhe ro ro ke bhula bhi na sake
apni bigdi huyi taqdeer bana bhi na sake
dil me jo aag hai

haye majburi se wo aa bhi gaye the lekin
haye majburi se wo aa bhi gaye the lekin
apna dil chir ke hum unko dikha bhi na sake
apni bigdi huyi taqdeer bana bhi na sake
dil me jo aag hai

From the hands of forced devotion,
Hope's garment slipped away.
The world, with cruelest blows, descended,
A wound struck deep, the heart gave way.

Within the heart, a burning fire,
We could not quench its fervent blaze.
Within the heart, a burning fire,
We could not heal our shattered ways.
Within the heart, a burning fire.

Helplessness, a binding chain,
Helplessness, our bitter plight,
We could not weep away our sorrow,
Nor mend our fate, dimmed of light.
Within the heart, a burning fire.

Alas, from duty's chains they came,
Alas, through duty's mournful call,
Yet we, could not bare our grieving heart,
Nor heal our fate, destined to fall.
Within the heart, a burning fire.
