kaun sune fariyad humari
kisko sunaye baith
jaise jal bin machhli
tadpat hai din rain
jabse piya pardes sidhare
khate hai thokre hum, kismat ke maare
gham ka falak hai, dukh ki jami hai
apna paraya haye koi nahi hai
bas ji hawaye khaye ruthe nazare
khate hai thokre hum, kismat ke maare
jabse piya pardes sidhare
khate hai thokre hum, kismat ke maare

bhukhe pyase kis dar jaye
apni musibat kisko sunaye
bhukhe pyase kis dar jaye
apni musibat kisko sunaye
kaise katenge haye din ye humare
khate hai thokre hum, kismat ke maare
jabse piya pardes sidhare
khate hai thokre hum, kismat ke maare

Who hears the wails of my heart,
To whom shall I pour my soul?
Like a fish, gasping for the water's art,
I writhe in the night's dark scroll.

Since my love departed for distant lands,
I stumble, a victim of fate's cruel hands.
Grief's sky above, sorrow's earth below,
No one is mine, no friend, no foe.
I breathe the wind, see only fading strands,
I stumble, a victim of fate's cruel hands.
Since my love departed for distant lands,
I stumble, a victim of fate's cruel hands.

Hungry, thirsty, to whose door can I turn?
To whom can I tell the lessons I learn?
Hungry, thirsty, to whose door can I turn?
To whom can I tell the lessons I learn?
How will these days ever cease to burn?
I stumble, a victim of fate's cruel hands.
Since my love departed for distant lands,
I stumble, a victim of fate's cruel hands.
