bata ae aasman mai ab jau kaha
mujhe jine nahi deta tera zalim jaha
bata ae aasman mai ab jau kaha
mujhe jine nahi deta tera zalim jaha
bata aye aasma

khushi ki chhav mangi gam ka dera hi mila mujhko
khushi ki chhav mangi gam ka dera hi mila mujhko
ujale ki tamanna ki andhera hi mila mujhko
bhatakta hi rahega kya ye mera karva
mujhe jine nahi deta tera zalim jaha
bata ae aasman mai ab jau kaha
mujhe jine nahi deta tera zalim jaha
bata aye aasma

hajaro dukh utha dale nahi shikve kiye maine
hajaro dukh utha dale nahi shikve kiye maine
bahut aaho ko roka hai bahut aansu piye maine
sitam lakho sahe phir bhi nahi khali zaba
mujhe jine nahi deta tera zalim jaha
bata ae aasman mai ab jau kaha
mujhe jine nahi deta tera zalim jaha
bata aye aasma

barasti hai ghata gam ki mere arman jalte hai
barasti hai ghata gam ki mere arman jalte hai
teri rahmat ke saye me tere insan jalte hai
kahi aandhi kahi tufa kahi par bijliya
mujhe jine nahi deta tera zalim jaha
bata ae aasman mai ab jau kaha
mujhe jine nahi deta tera zalim jaha
bata aye aasma

Tell me, O sky, where shall I now turn?
Your cruel world denies my soul its burn.
Tell me, O sky, where shall I now turn?
Your cruel world denies my soul its burn.
Tell me, O sky...

I sought the shade of joy, yet grief's abode I found,
I yearned for light, but shadows all around.
Will this caravan of mine forever stray?
Your cruel world denies my soul its day.
Tell me, O sky, where shall I now turn?
Your cruel world denies my soul its burn.
Tell me, O sky...

A thousand sorrows borne, complaints unheard,
A well of sighs I stemmed, each tear incurred.
Millions of wrongs endured, yet silent my tongue,
Your cruel world denies my soul, unsung.
Tell me, O sky, where shall I now turn?
Your cruel world denies my soul its burn.
Tell me, O sky...

The clouds of sorrow weep, my longings start to fade,
Beneath your grace, your children are betrayed.
Where winds and storms collide, where lightning strikes the ground,
Your cruel world denies my soul, unbound.
Tell me, O sky, where shall I now turn?
Your cruel world denies my soul its burn.
Tell me, O sky...
