pyar jab na diya, zindagi ne kabhi
phir sitamgar kon hua, admi ya jindagi
pyar jab na diya, zindagi ne kabhi
phir sitamgar kon hua, admi ya jindagi

zurm ki hai saja, ye to jane sabhi
zurm ki hai saja, ye to jane sabhi
koi mujrim kyu bana, ye nahi mane kabhi
sath jab na diya, jindagi ne kabhi
phir sitamgar kon hua, admi ya jindagi

dag lagta rahe, fir bhi jina pade
dag lagta rahe, fir bhi jina pade
jillato ruswaiyo ka, jahar bhi pina pade
raham jab na kiya, jindagi ne kabhi
phir sitamgar kon hua, admi ya jindagi

wo to kahta raha, jindagi ke liye
wo to kahta raha, jindagi ke liye
ek mohabbat ke siwa, kuch na mujhko chaiye
pyar jab na diya, zindagi ne kabhi
phir sitamgar kon hua, admi ya jindagi
pyar jab na diya, zindagi ne kabhi
phir sitamgar kon hua, admi ya jindagi

When love was withheld, by life's cruel hand,
Who then, the tormentor, life or man?
When love was withheld, by life's cold decree,
Who then, the tormentor, you or me?

Of crime, we know the price, the bitter cost,
Of crime, we know the price, what's lost,
But why the criminal, a truth ignored,
When life denied its grace, its sweet accord?
When support was withheld, by life's heart of stone,
Who then, the tormentor, and all alone?

Though scars may fester, life compels us on,
Though scars may fester, the dawn must come,
To drink the poison, of shame and despair,
When mercy was withheld, by life's cold stare,
Who then the tormentor, in this broken land?

He pleaded always, for life's sweet sake,
He pleaded always, for life's deep ache,
"Just one true love," was all he'd crave,
When love was withheld, beyond the grave,
Who then the tormentor, life or man?
When love was withheld, as life began,
Who then the tormentor, life or man?
