ye bata, ye bata ae jindagi ke faatma
ye bata, ye bata ae jindagi ke faatma
saamne tere luta kyu kaarwa
ye bata ae jindagi ke faatma

apne ghar ko aag laga di
yun basti bhi viraan hui
apni duniya aap luta di
har mushkil aasaan hui
le chuka kya diljalo ka imthaan
ye bata, ye bata ae jindagi ke faatma

dil me basne waale tune
dil ka shisha chur kiya
baat baat par hansne waale
rone par majbur kiya
dur hai majbur hai jaaye kahan
ye bata, ye bata ae jindagi ke faatma

dekh tabahi honth seeye
to chhale dil ke fut pade
tere man ko chot lagi
aakaash se taare tut pade
aankh se tapki jo meri daastaan
ye bata, ye bata ae jindagi ke faatma
ye bata, ye bata ae jindagi ke faatma

Tell me, tell me, O Fatima of Life,
Tell me, tell me, O Fatima of Life,
Why before you, the caravan was plundered?
Tell me, O Fatima of Life.

I set fire to my own home,
Thus the settlement became desolate.
I destroyed my own world,
And every difficulty became easy.
Have you taken the test of the heart-scorched?
Tell me, tell me, O Fatima of Life.

You, who dwells in the heart,
Shattered the mirror of the heart.
You, who laughed at every word,
Forced me to weep.
We are far, we are helpless, where do we go?
Tell me, tell me, O Fatima of Life.

Seeing the devastation, lips sealed,
Wounds burst forth from the heart.
Your own heart was wounded,
Stars fell from the sky.
From my eye, my tale dripped,
Tell me, tell me, O Fatima of Life,
Tell me, tell me, O Fatima of Life.
