taqdeer me likha hai meri thokar khana ha
bedard zamana, bedard zamana
ab kaun sune dil ki kahani mere
pochhega kaun aankho ka pani mere
ye din hi dikhana tha to kyun pyar kiya
kyun pyar kiya
marne na diya jeena bhi dushwar kiya
aaya na char din bhi tumhe pyar nibhana
haye pyar nibhana, bedard zamana

maiya ne mujhe chhod diya
babul ne mukh mod liya
saajan ne bhi dil tod diya
haye is dard ki maari ka raha kaun thikana
is dard ki maari ka raha kaun thikana
main kiske aage ro ke sunau ye fasana
sunau ye fasana, bedard zamana

hai raat andheri, mere dil me hai andhera
mere dil me hai andhera
ujda hua hai aaj mera kal ka basera
haye kal ka basera
bhagwan bhagwan bhagwan bhagwan
bhagwan meri raat ka kab hoga savera
kab tak mujhe manjur hai yu mujhko rulana
haye mujhko rulana
haye haye haye bedard zamana, bedard zamana

My fate, it seems, is written in stumbles, alas,
A world devoid of solace, a heartless expanse.
Who now will lend an ear to my heart's lament?
Who will wipe the tears that flow, heaven-sent?
If this was the fate, why did love begin?
Why did love bloom?
You spared me death, yet made life a burden to spin.
Couldn't you uphold love, even for a fleeting span?
Alas, to love’s end, cruel time, heartless plan.

My mother abandoned me, it is true,
My father turned away, a mournful view.
My beloved, too, shattered my heart in two.
Oh, this pain-racked soul, where can she reside?
This pain-racked soul, where can she confide?
To whom can I weep, to whom shall I confide?
To whom, this tale I must now decide?
Oh, heartless era, you cannot hide.

The night is dark, and in my heart, shadows reside,
Shadows abide.
My tomorrow's haven, in ruins, it does now confide.
Alas, my haven does confide.
Oh God, God, God, God!
When will dawn break, and my night subside?
How long must I endure this endless weeping tide?
Alas, this sorrow is my pride.
Oh, heartless era, heartless tide.
