kya jane kis khata ki saja pa rahi hun main
marne ki aur hun main jiye ja rahu hun main
jamane walo apni meharbani dekhte jana
kisi ki mitti me milati jawani dekhte jana
jamane walo apni meharbani dekhte jana
kisi ki mitti me milati jawani dekhte jana
jamane walo

hansi to hai ghadi bhar ki
hai tona jindagi bhar ka
likhi hai khun se apni kahani dekhte jana
kisi ki mitti me milati jawani dekhte jana
jamane walo apni meharbani dekhte jana
kisi ki mitti me milati jawani dekhte jana
jamane walo

tumhare bas me duniya hai
jo chaho to badal dalo jo chaho to badal dalo
jo chaho to badal dalo
garibo ki magar ye bejubani dekhte jana
kisi ki mitti me milti jawani dekhte jana
jamane walo
are o jindgani ki bahaare dekhne walo
meri ujadi hui ye jindgani dekhte jana
kisi ki mitti me milati jawani dekhte jana
jamane walo apni meharbani dekhte jana
kisi ki mitti me milati jawani dekhte jana
jamane walo

I know not the crime for which I'm punished thus,
Yearning for death, yet living, perilous.
O world, your kindness, watch it as it goes,
See youthful bloom returned to earth's repose.
O world, your kindness, watch it as it goes,
See youthful bloom returned to earth's repose.
O world...

A moment's laughter, a lifetime of tears,
My tale, etched in blood, for all the coming years.
See youthful bloom returned to earth's repose.
O world, your kindness, watch it as it goes,
See youthful bloom returned to earth's repose.
O world...

Yours is the world, its fate within your hold,
To shape, to alter, stories to be told.
But watch the voiceless weep, their pleas unheard,
See youthful bloom returned to earth, interred.
O world...
Oh, beholders of life's fleeting grace,
Behold my ruined life, my desolate space.
See youthful bloom returned to earth's repose.
O world, your kindness, watch it as it goes,
See youthful bloom returned to earth's repose.
O world...
