aawaara hai galiyo me, main aur meri tanhaayi
jaaye to kaha jaaye
jaaye to kaha jaaye
har mod pe rushwaayi, main aur meri tanhaayi
main aur meri tanhaayi

ye phool se chehre hai, hanste huye guldaste
koi bhi nahi apna, begaane hai sab raste
raahe bhi tamaashaahi
raahi bhi tamaashaahi, main aur meri tanhaayi
main aur meri tanhaayi

armaan sulgate hai, sine me chita jaise
kaatil najar aati hai, duniya ki hawa jaise
roti hai mere dil par, bajati huyi shahnaayi
main aur meri tanhaayi
main aur meri tanhaayi

aakash ke maathe par, taaro ka charaagam hai
pahlu me magar mere, jakhmo ka gulishta hai
aankho se lahu tapka, daaman me bahaar aayi
main aur meri tanhaayi, main aur meri tanhaayi
main aur meri tanhaayi, main aur meri tanhaayi

A wanderer am I, with solitude as my shadow,
Where to go, oh where to go?
Where to go?
At every turn, a sting of shame, I and my solitude,
I and my solitude.

These faces, like flowers, laughing bouquets,
Yet none are mine, strangers in every way,
Even the paths are tyrants,
Even the paths, tyrants, I and my solitude,
I and my solitude.

Desires smolder, a pyre within my breast,
The world's air, a killer, I am oppressed,
Weeping upon my heart, a mournful oboe,
I and my solitude,
I and my solitude.

Upon the sky's brow, a chandelier of stars,
But beside me, a garden of wounds, and scars,
From my eyes, blood drips, spring bursts in my hem,
I and my solitude, I and my solitude,
I and my solitude, I and my solitude.
