mujhe jindagi ki dua na de mujhe jindagi ki dua na de
meri jindagi se bani nahi meri jindagi se bani nahi
koi jindagi pe kare yaki mujhe jindagi pe yaki nahi
meri jindagi se bani nahi

ye safar bhi kaisa safar hai ye
mai kabhi kabhi to kahi kahi
mujhe jis sanam ki talash thi
wo mila magar wo mila nahi
mai wo bat hu mai wo bat hu to bani nahi
mai wo rat hu jo kati anhi
mujhe jindagi ki dua na de mujhe jindagi ki dua na de
meri jindagi se bani nahi meri jindagi se bani nahi

Do not wish me life, do not wish me life.
My being finds no home in this design,
This fleeting breath, a question, not a knife,
My being finds no home in this design.

This journey, what a journey it has been,
From place to place, a restless, shifting quest,
The love I sought, a phantom I have seen,
Appeared, then vanished, leaving me unblessed.
I am the word, unspoken, unexpressed,
I am the night that never finds its rest.
Do not wish me life, do not wish me life.
My being finds no home in this design.
