yo apne me khoye hai sab
apne se apne ko matlab
bade shehar ke bade nakhre hai
samjana inko ki
choti si hai yaha ye baat
din se labi hai raat
jo kamnaye hai vo baju ho jaye
wasta na usse koi
wasta na usse koi

guse me rahte hai sab
jo muskura de vo hai ajab
uchi emarto me niche hai log
samjana unko koi
jina bhi hamko hai
marna bhi hamko hai
jite ji kyo marte ho
usme kya maja hai
ek dodha me bage hai sab
fursat ka jane na matalab
padosi bhi hai padosi se ajnabi
hoga anjana koi hoga anjana koi

paisa hai to fir hai adab
gadi bagale ki sab chamk
jo thanthan gopal hai
uska pucho na hal
janta na usko koi
janta na usko koi
janta na usko koi

Lost within themselves, each soul,
Concerned only with their own hole.
The city's grand displays, a boast,
Who can teach them, at what cost?
A simple truth, often missed,
Night's shadow, by day, is kissed.
If desires took wings to soar,
No connection would be anymore,
No connection would be anymore.

All dwell in anger's burning haze,
A smile, a wonder, in these days.
Beneath high towers, hearts reside,
Who can teach them, deep inside?
We are born to live, you see,
And also, mortality.
Why embrace death while life still breathes?
What pleasure does that weave?
In a constant race, the bell does chime,
The meaning of leisure, lost in time.
Neighbors are strangers, it's true,
Unknown, unknown to you.

Wealth brings respect, a gilded gleam,
Cars and mansions, a waking dream.
But for those empty, hollow, bare,
Ask not of them, of their despair.
No one knows them, cast aside,
No one knows them, where they hide,
No one knows them, deep inside.
