mushkil hai jina bedardo kee duniya me
dard uthe toh chup rahana apane hi aansu pina

dil bhi apna dard bhi apana, baaki sabhi paraye hain
kaisi kismat lekar jaane ham duniya me aaye hain
dard uthe toh chup rahana

din phike se raate suni, kab tak inase pyaar karu
apani kahani apane hee se kahate kahate aankh bharu
dard uthe toh chup rahana

pahare udasiyo ke chhode na sath mera
koyee khushee toh kabhi thamegi haath mera
dur kahi se dekhu dhundhala sa ek saya
saya toh hai chhaya kab haath kisi ke aaya
dard uthe toh chup rahana

To breathe in worlds of callous hearts is hard,
When pain unfurls, to drink the tears unheard.

The heart, our own; the ache, a private plight,
All else estranged, beneath a shadowed light.
With what fate's burden, did we enter here?
When pain unfurls, we must suppress the tear.

Pale days and nights, a hollow, lonely plea,
How long to love what offers misery?
To tell our tale, with none but self to share,
And watch the well of sorrow overflow and stare.
When pain unfurls, we must suppress the tear.

Sad sentinels, they cling, they will not yield,
Will joy, once lost, its solace ever build?
From distant realms, a form, a shade I see,
A fleeting ghost, a shadow's mystery.
When pain unfurls, we must suppress the tear.
