haari hatheli ki laqeerein kyun deva
saari bani hain zanjeerein kyun
aankhon ke aage andhera sa hai
rootha hai mujhse savera kyun
kya woh dhanak ki satrangi thi
meri nazar ka bharam

daata tera kaisa
hai rehamo karam
kabhi jinke karte the nazare
bani hain unn khawabon ki mazare

chura chura toot kar kyun
aashiyana hasraton ka hua re
seene mein dard ka dera sa hai
pighla nahi buth tera kyun

tu hi bata iss toote dil se
ab nibhaau kya dharam
daata tera kaisa
hai reham-o-karam
hey ram…

hechi daan dega deva
tuza visar na vhava
hechi daan dega deva
tuza visar na vhava

Why, God, the lines of a losing palm?
Why chains, spun from every charm?
Why, God, the lines of a losing palm?
Why chains, spun from every charm?
Darkness dances before my eyes,
Why does dawn forsake my skies?
Was that rainbow a trick of sight, a fleeting gleam?
Lord, what mercy is this, this cruel, broken dream?
Lord, what mercy is this, this cruel, broken dream?
Lord, what mercy is this, this cruel, broken dream?
Lord, what mercy is this, this cruel, broken dream?
Lord, what mercy is this, this cruel, broken dream?

The visions we once adored,
Now graves where dreams are poured.
The visions we once adored,
Now graves where dreams are poured.
Stolen, shattered, the nest of longing, alas,
Why did it fall to pass?
A fortress of pain within my breast,
Why won't your idol be blessed?
Tell me, what faith must I keep, with this heart now torn?
Lord, what mercy is this, this desolate morn?
Lord, what mercy is this, this desolate morn?
Lord, what mercy is this, this desolate morn?
Lord, what mercy is this, this desolate morn?
Lord, what mercy is this, this desolate morn?
O Ram, O Ram, O Ram, O Ram, O Ram.
