takdeer me likha hai meri thokre khana
ha bedard jamana, ha bedard jamana
ab kaun sune dil ki kahani mere
puchhega kaun aankho ka pani mere
ye din isi khanabadosh ke pyar kiya, kyun pyar kiya
marne na diya jina bhi dushawar kiya
aaya na char din bhi tumhe pyar nibhana, haye pyar nibhana
bedard jamana

maiya ne mujhe chhod diya, babul ne mukh mod liya
saajan ne bhi dil tod diya
haye iss dard ki maari ka raha kaun thikana
main kisse aaj roke sunau ye fasana, sunau ye fasana
bedard jamana

hai raat andheri mere dil me hai andhera mere dil me hai andhera
ujada huwa hai aaj mera kal ka basera, haye kal ka basera
bhagwan, bhagwan, bhagwan, bhagwan
bhagwan meri raat ka kab hoga savera
kab tak tujhe manjur hai yu mujhko rulana, haye mujhko rulana
haye haye haye bedard jamana, bedard jamana

My fate, to stumble, it was writ,
O heartless world, a cruel, cold pit.
Who now will hear my broken heart's plea?
Who'll ask of tears that flow from me?
These days, this nomad's love, why did I crave?
It spared me death, yet made my living grave.
You couldn't keep love's flame for a mere four days,
Heartless world, in your heartless ways.

My mother cast me out, my father turned away,
My beloved too, has broken me, astray.
This wounded soul, where can she find her ground?
To whom can I pour forth my tears, my sound?
Heartless world.

Night's darkness falls, within my heart, a gloom,
My future home, now shattered, seals my doom.
God, God, oh God,
When will dawn break, and light my room?
How long must I endure, your tears that claim?
Heartless world, a world of endless shame.
