mujhe maaf kar do shyam
main tumhe is janam me to nahi mil saki
lekin agale janam me jarur milungi
main tumhara intajaar karungi

tut gayi khushiyo ki maala
bikhar gaye sab moti
pyaar ke phul bane angaare
bichhad gayi mri jyoti
o duniya ke maalik
o duniya ke maalik
hay o duniya ke maalik
kya insaaf hain tere ghar ka
ye hai khel mukaddar ka
hay khel mukaddar ka
ye hai khel mukaddar ka
hay khel mukaddar ka

Forgive me, Shyam,
For I could not meet you in this life,
But surely I shall in the next,
I will await you, Shyam.

The garland of joy has shattered,
All the pearls scattered,
Flowers of love turned to embers,
My light has departed.

Oh, Master of the world,
Oh, Master of the world,
Alas, Oh, Master of the world,
What justice is there in your house?
This is the game of fate,
Alas, the game of fate,
This is the game of fate,
Alas, the game of fate.
