kyu ruth gaye mujhse
kyu ruth gaye
kyu ruth gaye mujhse
kya maine bigada
bhagwan tumne chhin liya
mera sahara, kyu ruth gaye

kyu ruth gaye mujhse
kya maine bigada
bhagwan tumne chhin liya
mera sahara, kyu ruth gaye

aashao ke deepak ki jyot tumne bujha di
kyu prit ki nagri me meri aag laga di
kuch sun na sake
maine tumhe lakh pukara
kuch sun na sake
maine tumhe lakh pukara
kyu ruth gaye mujhse
kya maine bigada
bhagwan tumne chhin liya
mera sahara, kyu ruth gaye

vipdaa ki ghatao ne mujhe gher liya hai
bhagwan mere tumne bhi muh pher liya hai
is ghor andhere me nahi milta kinara
is ghor andhere me nahi milta kinara
kyu ruth gaye mujhse
kya maine bigada
bhagwan tumne chhin liya
mera sahara, kyu ruth gaye

saanse bichhad rahi hai ek baar to aao
maro ya jilao mujhe
mukhda to dikhaao
anyay ke hatho se mujhe
aake bachaao, aake bachaao
bhagwan bachaao

Why have you turned away from me?
Why, oh why, have you turned away?
Why have you turned from me?
What have I done wrong?
God, you have stolen from me
My support, why have you turned?
Why have you turned away from me?
What have I done wrong?
God, you have stolen from me
My support, why have you turned?

The lamp of hope, you have extinguished its flame,
Why have you set my city of love ablaze?
You could not hear,
Though I called out a thousand times,
You could not hear,
Though I called you a thousand times.
Why have you turned away from me?
What have I done wrong?
God, you have stolen from me
My support, why have you turned?

The clouds of adversity have surrounded me,
God, even you have turned your face away,
In this deep darkness, no shore is found,
In this deep darkness, no shore is found.
Why have you turned away from me?
What have I done wrong?
God, you have stolen from me
My support, why have you turned?

My breaths are departing, come just once,
Strike me down or give me life,
Show me your face, at least,
From the hands of injustice,
Come and save me, come and save me,
God, save me.
