rulane ko aansu, jalane ko naale
rulane ko aansu, jalane ko naale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale

mera dil jo tuta, to aawaz aayi
mera dil jo tuta, to aawaz aayi
khuda ka ye ghar ab khuda hi sambhale
khuda ka ye ghar ab khuda hi sambhale
rulane ko aansu, jalane ko naale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale

ye kisne bujhaya charag e tamanna
ye kisne bujhaya charag e tamanna
andhero ka munh tak, rahe hai ujaale
andhero ka munh tak, rahe hai ujaale
rulane ko aansu, jalane ko naale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale

sajane ko daman, baharo se apna
sajane ko daman, baharo se apna
zamane ne kitne chaman funk daale
zamane ne kitne chaman funk daale
rulane ko aansu
rulane ko aansu, jalane ko naale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale

Tears to weep, rivers to burn,

"May God Himself now care for this house of God."

Who extinguished the lamp of desire?

The shadows, they yearn for the light.

Tears to weep, rivers to burn,
What is this life you have given, Giver of life?
What is this life you have given, Giver of life?

To adorn my garment, with springs of my own,
To adorn my garment, with springs of my own,
The world has set many gardens ablaze.

Tears to weep,
