kya kiya khun bacche ka khuni hai tu
kya kiya khun bacche ka khuni hai tu
ekli raat ko laash laai hai kyu
kaun hai, kaun hai, bol jaldi bata
chor ki bhati marghat me aai hai kyu
koi sangi nahi, koi sathi nahi
koi sangi nahi, koi sathi nahi
sath takdir ko apne lai hun main
rutha bhagwan, futa nasiba mera
laal ko funkne apne laai hun

kar bina paye main lash jalne na dun
kar bina paye main lash jalne na dun
saty ki baat tujhko batata hun main
kya karun main bhi bebas hun lachar hun
hukum maalik ka apne bajata hun main

futi kaudi nahi paas mere suno ji
futi kaudi nahi paas mere suno
is bhayanak andhere se ghabraun main
koi duniya me mera nahi aasra
tum hi bolo abhagan kaha jaun main

You spilled a child's blood, a murderer you are,
You spilled a child's blood, a murderer you are.
Why in the lonely night, a corpse you bear?
Who is it? Tell me quickly, who are you?
Why like a thief, to the pyre, you dare?
No companion near, no solace at hand.
No companion near, no solace at hand.
Only fate, my only friend, I brought with me.
God has turned away, my destiny shattered,
To cremate my red one, I have come to be.

Before the rites, I won't let the body burn.
Before the rites, I won't let the body burn.
The truth I speak, to you I now impart.
Helpless I am, a prisoner of this plight,
The master's command, I must play my part.

Not a penny do I have, hear my plea.
Not a penny do I have, hear my plea.
In this dreadful dark, my spirit cowers.
No refuge in this world, no one to aid,
Tell me, wretched one, where shall I go now?
