kiski ye saja pati hu main

ro ro ke hansu hans hans ke milu
mil mil ke bichad jati hu main

wo aas meri dil ki dil me tut gayi
ban ban ke meri taqdir aakhir tut gayi
ek dard liye sine me sanam
ek dard liye sine me sanam
khamosh chali jati hu main
khamosh chali jati hu main taqadir bata

main kis se kahu meri bhi kahani khub rahi
meri nav kinare aakar ke bhi dub rahi
najadik gayi jitani utani
najadik gayi jitani utani
ab dur hui jati hu main
ab dur hui jati hu main taqadir bata

barbad thi main barbad chali
tum saad raho
haye dil ki dua tum fulo falo
aabad raho aayi thi tamannaye lekar
aayi thi tamannaye lekar
aur khof liye jati hu main
aur khof liye jati hu main taqadir bata

Tell me, Fate, what is my crime?
Tell me, Fate, what is my crime?
Whose punishment do I bear?
Whose punishment do I bear?
Weeping, I laugh; laughing, I meet,
Meeting and parting, my soul does tear.
Meeting and parting, my soul does tear.
Tell me, Fate.

That hope of my heart, it shattered within,
Formed and re-formed, my destiny did break.
A pain I carry, within my chest, O Beloved,
A pain I carry, within my chest, O Beloved,
Silently I depart.
Silently I depart. Tell me, Fate.

To whom can I tell, my story was grand,
My boat reached the shore, yet sank on the sand.
The closer I came to victory’s gleam,
The closer I came to victory’s gleam,
The further I now flee.
The further I now flee. Tell me, Fate.

I was ruined, I am gone, ruined I go,
May you be blessed, may you prosper and grow,
Ah, my heart's wish, may you bloom and flourish,
Filled with desires I came,
Filled with desires I came,
And fear I take away.
And fear I take away. Tell me, Fate.
