karam ki bhikh maangi hamse tumse
aur sitam paayaa
khushi lene ko aaye dar pe aur gam paayaa

bataa ae aasmaan vaale tere bande kidhar jaye
tere bande kidhar jaye
bataa ae aasmaan vaale tere bande kidhar jaye
tere bande kidhar jaye
vahi bedard duniyaa hai jahaan jaye jidhar jaye
jahaan jaye jidhar jaye
bataa ae aasmaan vaale tere bande kidhar jaye
tere bande kidhar jaye
vahi bedard duniyaa hai jahaan jaye jidhar jaye
jahaan jaye jidhar jaye

jafaao par jafaa bedaad hoti hai
hamaari jindagi kyaa maut bhi barbaad hoti hai
hame itnaa to batlaa de jiye ham yaa ke mar jaye
hame itnaa to batlaa de jiye ham yaa ke mar jaye
jiye ham yaa ke mar jaye
bataa ae aasmaan vaale tere bande kidhar jaye
tere bande kidhar jaye
bataa ae aasmaan vaale tere bande kidhar jaye
tere bande kidhar jaye
vahi bedard duniyaa hai jahaan jaye jidhar jaye
jahaan jaye jidhar jaye

jigar chhlani hai aur dil gam ke tiro
kaa nishaanaa hai
hamaari zindagi ek dard me duba fasana hai
na jine kaa thikana hai na marne kaa thikana hai
na jine kaa thikana hai na marne kaa thikana hai
jo tere dar se thukaraay gay vo kiske dar jaye
bhala wo kiske dar jaye
bataa ae aasmaan vaale tere bande kidhar jaye
tere bande kidhar jaye
bataa ae aasmaan vaale tere bande kidhar jaye
tere bande kidhar jaye
vahi bedard duniyaa hai jahaan jaye jidhar jaye
jahaan jaye jidhar jaye

are o muskaraa kar meri haalat dekhne vaalo
koi to raham farmaao musibat dekhne vaalo
kahi aisa na ho ham thokare khaa ke mar jaye
kahi aisa na ho ham thokare khaa ke mar jaye
tere bande kidhar jaye
bataa ae aasmaan vaale tere bande kidhar jaye
tere bande kidhar jaye
bataa ae aasmaan vaale tere bande kidhar jaye
tere bande kidhar jaye
vahi bedard duniyaa hai jahaan jaye jidhar jaye
jahaan jaye jidhar jaye
bataa ae aasmaan vaale tere bande kidhar jaye
tere bande kidhar jaye
bataa ae aasamaan vaale

We begged for grace, a crumb of your embrace,
Yet found a storm, a cruel and bitter chase.
We came for joy, yet sorrow met our gaze.

Oh, Sky-Dweller, tell us, where shall we roam?
Where shall your children find a sheltering home?
Oh, Sky-Dweller, tell us, where shall we roam?
Where shall your children find a sheltering home?
This heartless world, a path of endless pain,
No matter where we turn, the hurt remains.
Oh, Sky-Dweller, tell us, where shall we roam?
Where shall your children find a sheltering home?
This heartless world, a path of endless pain,
No matter where we turn, the hurt remains.

Wounds upon wounds, a relentless, cruel decree,
Our lives themselves, a death eternally.
Is our existence doomed to crumble and decay?
Tell us, oh, tell us, should we live or fade away?
Should we live or fade away?
Oh, Sky-Dweller, tell us, where shall we roam?
Where shall your children find a sheltering home?
Oh, Sky-Dweller, tell us, where shall we roam?
Where shall your children find a sheltering home?
This heartless world, a path of endless pain,
No matter where we turn, the hurt remains.

Our hearts are pierced, our spirits torn and frayed,
By arrows of despair, our souls betrayed.
Our lives, a tale of anguish, etched in night,
No haven found, for living or for light.
No haven found, for living or for light.
Those turned away from your celestial door,
To whom shall they now turn, and what's in store?
Oh, Sky-Dweller, tell us, where shall we roam?
Where shall your children find a sheltering home?
Oh, Sky-Dweller, tell us, where shall we roam?
Where shall your children find a sheltering home?
This heartless world, a path of endless pain,
No matter where we turn, the hurt remains.

You who laugh, observing our plight with glee,
Have mercy, you who witness misery!
Lest we stumble, broken, lost in the fray,
Lest we stumble, broken, and fade away.
Where shall your children roam?
Oh, Sky-Dweller, tell us, where shall we roam?
Where shall your children find a sheltering home?
Oh, Sky-Dweller, tell us, where shall we roam?
Where shall your children find a sheltering home?
This heartless world, a path of endless pain,
No matter where we turn, the hurt remains.
Oh, Sky-Dweller, tell us, where shall we roam?
Where shall your children find a sheltering home?
Oh, Sky-Dweller...
