jamane se nahi lekin hai kismat se gila baki
raha na jindagi me koi jine ka maja baki
ashko se likhi takdir meri
ashko se likhi takdir meri
takdir banane wale ne
takdir banane wale ne

kabhi aansu kabhi aahe ye kaisi jindagi di hai
na shab ko chain na din ko
ye kaisi bekali di hai
gum ki tasveer banayi hai
tasveer banane wale ne
tasveer banane wale ne

ye dunia bewafa nikli
mukaddar bewafa nikla
samjh rakha tha hamne kya
magar dekha to kya nikla
duniya ko khushi di hai mujhko
dilgir banane wale ne
dilgir banane wale ne
ashko se likhi takdir meri
takdir banane wale ne
takdir banane wale ne

Not from the world, but fate I still accuse,
No joy remains, in life, there's naught to choose.
My destiny etched in tears' soft trace,
By the one who crafted my fate's embrace.

Sometimes tears, sometimes sighs, this life's design,
No peace at night, nor solace in the shine.
What restlessness, this torment deep,
A picture of sorrow, secrets to keep,
By the one who shaped the portrait, asleep.
By the one who shaped the portrait, asleep.

This world proved faithless, a deceitful guise,
My destiny, too, beneath deceptive skies.
What I thought, what I believed to be,
But what I saw, was misery.
Joy to the world, to me, despair's sting,
By the one who grief does bring.
By the one who grief does bring.
My destiny etched in tears' soft trace,
By the one who crafted my fate's embrace.
By the one who crafted my fate's embrace.
