tu kaha aa gayi zindagi tu kaha aa gayi zindagi
gamo ke sehra me dukho ki duniya me mili ye nayi zindagi
gamo ke sehra me dukho ki duniya me mili ye nayi zindagi
tu kaha aa gayi zindagi

mere nakam khawabo ki tabeer tu
jisne luta mujhe uski tasveer tu
mere sine se lag ja meri zindagi, tu kaha aa gayi zindagi

apni tanhaaiya leke jati hu main
apni rusavaaiya leke jati hu main
ke tujhe raas aaye teri zindagi, zindagi zindagi zindagi

mujhko dasti thi saanse meri banke naag
aaj tune chita ko dikhayi jo aag
maut mere liye ban gayi zindagi, zindagi zindagi zindagi
gamo ke sehra me dukho ki duniya me
mili ye nayi zindagi, zindagi zindagi zindagi

Where have you wandered, oh Life, where have you wandered?
Into deserts of sorrow, a world of pain, this new life found.
Into deserts of sorrow, a world of pain, this new life found.
Where have you wandered, oh Life?

You, the interpretation of my failed dreams,
You, the image of she who plundered me.
Embrace my chest, oh my Life, where have you wandered?

I carry my solitudes away,
I carry my humiliations away,
May you find joy, oh your Life, Life, Life, Life.

My breaths, they bit me like serpents,
Today, you showed the funeral pyre its flame.
Death itself, became Life for me, Life, Life, Life.
Into deserts of sorrow, a world of pain,
This new life found, Life, Life, Life.
