aisa kyu hota hai, aisa kyu hota hai
aisa kyu hota hai, aisa kyu hota hai
koi hansta hai, koi rota hai
koi hansta hai, koi rota hai
aisa kyu hota hai, aisa kyu hota hai
aisa kyu hota hai, aisa kyu hota hai

duniyawalo ke hatho me har dil hum bikate hai
baste basti yahi sabki takdir likhate hai
meri teri mehnat ka yun
sauda kyo hota hai
koi hansta hai, koi rota hai
koi hansta hai, koi rota hai
aisa kyu hota hai, aisa kyu hota hai

mera tera khun pasina
sikko me dhalta hai
fir bhi apne ghar me chulha
kam kam hi jalta hai
meri teri jaan ka dushman paisa kyu hota hai
koi hansta hai, koi rota hai
koi hansta hai, koi rota hai
aisa kyu hota hai, aisa kyu hota hai

jaane kyu paida hote hai
jaane kyu marte hai
jaane kyu paida hote hai
jaane kyu marte hai
jab tak jeete hai jeene ka
karj adaa karte hai
bemaksad bekaar jeena marna kyo hota hai
koi hansta hai, koi rota hai
koi hansta hai, koi rota hai
aisa kyu hota hai, aisa kyu hota hai

kheto se jo fasal ugaaye
bhukhe kyo rahte hai
kapdo ke jo dher lagaye
nange kyo rahte hai
duniya ka kanun humesa andha kyu hota hai
koi hansta hai, koi rota hai
koi hansta hai, koi rota hai
aisa kyu hota hai, aisa kyu hota hai

Why does this happen, why does this happen?
Why does this happen, why does this happen?
One laughs, another weeps.
One laughs, another weeps.
Why does this happen, why does this happen?
Why does this happen, why does this happen?

In the hands of the world, we are sold each day.
They reside here, writing everyone's fate.
Why is the trade of your and my labor so?
One laughs, another weeps.
One laughs, another weeps.
Why does this happen, why does this happen?

My sweat and your blood,
Melt into coins.
Yet, in our own homes, the hearth
Burns so rarely.
Why is money the enemy of your and my life?
One laughs, another weeps.
One laughs, another weeps.
Why does this happen, why does this happen?

Why are we born, we do not know.
Why do we die, we do not know.
Why are we born, we do not know.
Why do we die, we do not know.
While we live, we pay the debt of living.
Why is living and dying meaningless, useless?
One laughs, another weeps.
One laughs, another weeps.
Why does this happen, why does this happen?

Those who harvest crops from the fields,
Why do they remain hungry?
Those who pile up clothes,
Why do they remain naked?
Why is the world's law always blind?
One laughs, another weeps.
One laughs, another weeps.
Why does this happen, why does this happen?
