rulane ko aansu, jalane ko naale
rulane ko aansu, jalane ko naale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale

deeya to jalaya, magar zindagi ne
deeya to jalaya, magar zindagi ne
use kar diya aandhiyo ke hawale
use kar diya aandhiyo ke hawale
rulane ko aansu, jalane ko naale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale

bhala ho tera, tune saiyad mujhko
bhala ho tera, tune saiyad mujhko
rihayi to di aur par nonch daale
rihayi to di aur par nonch daale
rulane ko aansu, jalane ko naale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale

nikale agar koi, kaanta chubha ho
nikale agar koi, kaanta chubha ho
koi dil se yaado ko kaise nikale
koi dil se yaado ko kaise nikale
rulane ko aansu
rulane ko aansu, jalane ko naale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale
ye kya de diya zindagi dene wale

Tears to weep, rivers to burn,
Tears to weep, rivers to burn,
What have you given, Giver of life,

A lamp you lit, yet life itself,
A lamp you lit, yet life itself,
Cast it adrift to the winds' cruel strife,
Cast it adrift to the winds' cruel strife.
Tears to weep, rivers to burn,
What have you given, Giver of life,
What have you given, Giver of life?

Blessed be your name, you hunter of me,
Blessed be your name, you hunter of me,
You granted release, but tore off my wings,
You granted release, but tore off my wings.
Tears to weep, rivers to burn,
What have you given, Giver of life,
What have you given, Giver of life?

If a thorn pierces, one can draw it out,
If a thorn pierces, one can draw it out,
But how can one pluck memories from the heart?
But how can one pluck memories from the heart?
Tears to weep,
Tears to weep, rivers to burn,
What have you given, Giver of life,
What have you given, Giver of life?
