duniya me aake bhi kyu paisa kama ke bhi kyu
sab kuch luta ke bhi kyu dar dar ke jita hai kyu
khusiya mila ke bhi kyu dar dar ke jita hai kyu
sapno me tanha hai kyu

itna akela hai kyu tanha hai kyu
tuta huya hai kyu aata hai jo jata hai kyu
duniya me aake bhi kyu paisa kama ke bhi kyu
sab kuch luta ke bhi kyu
kisi ke jane se darta kyu darta hai kyu
aata hai kyu aata hai jo jata hai kyu
kal tak jo tera tha usne sath chhod a hai kyu
khusiyo ki dhup me gham ka chand nikala hai kyu
tanha hai kyu
tuta hai kyu, manav ke jhadne se darta hai kyu
jhuta hai wada hai kyu tuta hai sapna hai kyu
duniya se chhupta hai kyu
apni hi bahoo me jinda kyu

kya ho gaya sab mile hai aaj
chhod na mera haath sab kho gaya
duniya me aake bhi kyu paisa kama ke bhi kyu
sab kuch luta ke bhi kyu kisi ke jane se darta kyu

Why, in this world, and wealth amassed,
And fortunes spent, why live in dread?
Even with joy, why fear to last?
Why lonely in your dreams, instead?

So isolated, why this plight?
Why broken, what arrives, then flees?
Why, in this world, and bathed in light,
And fortunes spent, why such unease?

Why fear departure, why this fright?
Why come and go, what fades from view?
Why did what was yours take flight?
Why, in sunlit joy, does sorrow brew?
Why lonely?

Broken, afraid to fall apart,
False vows, a shattered dream's design?
Why hide within the world's cold heart?
Why in your own arms, decline?

What has become, all gathered now?
Release my hand, all lost, it seems.
Why, in this world, with furrowed brow,
And fortunes spent, why such extremes?
Why fear departure?
