chalti chakki dekh ke
deeya kabhi na roye
do paatan ke beech me
saabat bacha na koi
kismat banane waale ek baat sunte jana
meri tarah kisi ki kismat na tum banana
kismat banane waale

insa ki jindagi hai
ek dard ka fasana
insa ki jindagi hai
ek dard ka fasana
hansne ko chaar ghadiya
rone ko ek zamana
rone ko ek zamana
kismat banane waale ek baat sunte jana
meri tarah kisi ki kismat na tum banana
kismat banane waale

aansu to har jagah hai
moti kahi kahi hai
aansu to har jagah hai
moti kahi kahi hai
gham ki hai sau kahani
khushiyo ka ek bahana
khushiyo ka ek bahana
kismat banane waale ek baat sunte jana
meri tarah kisi ki kismat na tum banana
kismat banane waale

Behold the turning wheel,
The lamp does not weep,
Between its grinding stones,
Nothing whole does keep.

O Weaver of Fate, heed this plea,
Listen close, and hear from me,
Do not weave another fate like mine,
O Weaver of Fate, divine.

The story of man's life,
A tale of endless pain,
The story of man's life,
A tale of grief's domain.
Four hours for laughter's bloom,
An age for tears to rain,
Tears to forever stain.
O Weaver of Fate, heed this plea,
Listen close, and hear from me,
Do not weave another fate like mine,
O Weaver of Fate, divine.

Tears are found everywhere,
Gems, a rare delight,
Tears are found everywhere,
Gems, in shadowed night.
Grief's a hundred tales we know,
Joy, a fleeting light,
Joy, a vanishing flight.
O Weaver of Fate, heed this plea,
Listen close, and hear from me,
Do not weave another fate like mine,
O Weaver of Fate, divine.
