teri hai duhayi
kismat bana ke kyu kismat mitayi
teri hai duhayi

duniya to rangi hai, kyu na hansayi
kismat bana ke kyu kismat mitayi
teri hai duhayi

dukhiya ke ram bana de kaam
dayalu naam tera
tere ghar diwali hai mere ghar
haar maan gayi kya teri parbhutaai
kismat bana ke kyu kismat mitayi
teri hai duhayi

mit gayi man ki ye raajdhani
kaise jiyegi mui haye bina pani
sej saja ke kyu aag lagayi
kismat bana ke kyu kismat mitayi
teri hai duhayi

naagin ban pass aayi aaja sapere
meri hai raat kaali tere savere
mere chand par to aaj ghata chhayi
kismat bana ke kyu kismat mitayi
teri hai duhayi
teri hai duhayi
kismat bana ke kyu kismat mitayi

Your plea, a desperate cry,
Why build a fate, then watch it die?
Your plea, a desperate cry.

The world ablaze with vibrant hue,
Why then, no laughter, fresh and new?
Why build a fate, then watch it die?
Your plea, a desperate cry.

For sorrows, a balm, a work of grace,
Compassionate name, in time and space.
Your home, a festival's bright gleam,
My dwelling shrouded, a darkened dream.
Has your dominion lost its sway?
Why build a fate, then watch it die?
Your plea, a desperate cry.

My heart's dominion, now undone,
How can it live, deprived of sun?
A bed of bliss, now set aflame,
Why build a fate, then watch it die?
Your plea, a desperate cry.

A serpent's coil, a tempting art,
Come, charmer, break my broken heart.
My night is dark, your dawn so bright,
My moon concealed by shadows' night.
Why build a fate, then watch it die?
Your plea, a desperate cry.
Your plea, a desperate cry.
Why build a fate, then watch it die?
