maa ne kahaa mujhase sadaa
tuu phuul meraa meraa chaand hai
naa chaand naa phuul huun
raste kii main dhuul huun
ta raa raa aa aa aa

kitanii badii hai ye duniyaa
main kitanaa akelaa o o o
bilkul akelaa main tuute
khilaunon se khelaa
ho o o ho o
ye kaisaa jiivan milaa
mujhako kairaat mein
ho o o ho o

My mother, she called to me,
"You are my flower, my moon's decree."
I am neither moon, nor bloom's sweet grace,
But dust upon the road's worn face.
Ta ra ra aah aah aah.

How vast this world unfurls,
And I, how utterly alone, O.
Forever solitary, broken,
Playing games with toys unknown.
Ho o o o.
What life is this that I've been given,
A whispered echo in the cremation?
Ho o o ho o.
