o ruth jaane waale
o ruth jaane waale, mera kasur kya hai
kyu pher li nigaahe
kyu pher li nigaahe
kyu mujhko gham diya
o ruth jaane waale, mera kasur kya hai

fariyaad sun rahi hai, sahami huyi jawaani
kisko sunaau ae dil, dukh dard ki kahaani
apne nahi jab apne, gairo se kya gila hai
o ruth jaane waale
o ruth jaane waale, mera kasur kya hai

beete huye dino ki baato ko yaad karke
gujri huyi suhaani raato ko yaad karke
mai dil ko ro rhi hu, dil mujhko ro rha hai
o ruth jaane waale
o ruth jaane waale, mera kasur kya hai

din raat kha raha hai, gham teri berukhi ka
najdeek aa raha hai, anjaam jindagi ka
tu hi bata ki aise, jine me kya maja hai

O, You Who Turn Away

O, you who turn away, what fault is mine?
Why do you avert your gaze?
Why do you avert your gaze?
Why have you given me sorrow?
O, you who turn away, what fault is mine?

My plea is heard by a trembling youth,
To whom can I tell the story of pain?
When those closest are not my own, why blame strangers?
O, you who turn away
O, you who turn away, what fault is mine?

Remembering the days that have passed,
Remembering the sweet nights that have gone,
My heart weeps, and it weeps with me.
O, you who turn away
O, you who turn away, what fault is mine?

Day and night, the grief of your indifference consumes me,
The end of life approaches.
Tell me, what joy is there in living like this?
