gujre hai is tarah se duniya me din humare
bheege rahe humesha aankho ke do kinare
gujre hai is tarah se

sine se ranj-o-gam ko humne laga ke rakha
majburiyo ko dil hi dil me chhupa ke rakha
karte bhi kya ae kismat, tere sitam ke mare
gujre hai is tarah se

hasrat bhari kahani, kissa hai bekasi ka
likha hai aansuo se afsana zindagi ka
kuch na kisi se kahna, ae meri bezubani
gardish nasib ki hai, kya dosh hai kisi ka
tute chamak chamak kar taqdeer ke sitare
gujre hai is tarah se duniya me din humare
bheege rahe humesha aankho ke do kinare
gujre hai is tarah se

Our days on earth, they drifted, they did flow,
A constant, brimming tide, the eyes overflow.
Thus did they pass.

We held the grief and sorrow close within,
And stowed our burdens deep, where tears begin.
What else to do, O fate, your blows we bore,
Thus did they pass.

A tale of longing, helplessness' refrain,
A life's sad saga, written in the rain.
Say nothing to another, silent soul,
This twisting fate, no blame to make it whole.
The stars of destiny, they shattered then,
Our days on earth, they drifted, they did flow,
A constant, brimming tide, the eyes overflow.
Thus did they pass.
