mai janam janam se udas hu
mai janam janam se udas hu
meri ruh ki ye pukar hai
jo na bujh sake mai wo pyas hu
mai janam janam se udas hu

mere sapne jaag ke so gaye
mere lab khamosh se ho gaye
mere sapne jaag ke so gaye
mere lab khamosh se ho gaye
kisi diljale ki mai hu sada
kisi badnasib ki aas hu
mai janam janam se udas hu
mai janam janam se udas hu

hai yahi likha mere bhag me
ke jalu mai apni hi aag me
hai yahi likha mere bhag me
ke jalu mai apni aag me
gam-e-zindagi mujhe raas hai
gam-e-zindagi ko mai raas hu
mai janam janam se udas hu
mai janam janam se udas hu
mere ruh ki ye pukar hai
jo na bujh sake mai wo pyas hu
mai janam janam se udas hu

Born of ages, I am sorrow's child,
A lament echoing from the soul's wild.
I am the thirst that knows no quenching,
Born of ages, in grief I'm reconciled.

My dreams awoke, then faded to sleep,
My lips are silenced, secrets to keep.
I am the echo of a heart ablaze,
The hope of one whose fate is steep.
Born of ages, in grief I weep.

It is written in my destined plight,
To burn within my own inner light.
Sorrow's embrace, it suits me well,
And in its depths, I find my right.
Born of ages, in endless night.
Born of ages, I am sorrow's child,
A lament echoing from the soul's wild.
I am the thirst that knows no quenching,
Born of ages, in grief I'm reconciled.
