ye mast hawa ye to batala kis waqt yahan kya baat hui
mai kya janu mai kya samjhu kab din dhuba kab raat hui
ye mast hawa ye to batala

bedard jamane ne dil me ye dard na chhod de ya hota
us jyot bujane wale ne deepak bhi tod diya hota
jina mushkil marna muskil vo ghaat humare sath hai
ye mast hawa ye to batala

malum nahi kab ruth badali kab phul khile kab murjaye
sine me jab jab aag lage maine samja badal chaye
aankho se aansu barse to maine jana barsat hui
ye mast hawa ye to batala kis waqt yahan kya baat hui
mai kya janu mai kya samjhu kab din dhuba kab raat hui
ye mast hawa ye to batala
mai kya janu mai kya samjhu kab din dhuba kab raat hui

O wild wind, whisper to me, tell the hour, the tale untold,
Of what transpired, what secrets unfurled, in days of old.
I, a stranger, lost and blind, to dawn's embrace, to night's dark hold.
O wild wind, tell the hour.

Had this cruel world but spared my heart the ache's sharp sting,
The one who quenched the flame, shattered the lamp, its light to bring.
Life a burden, death a snare, a shadow lurking, ever clinging.
O wild wind, tell the hour.

I know not when the seasons changed, when blossoms bloomed, then turned to dust,
Within my breast, when fire raged, I thought the clouds were gathered, just.
From eyes that wept, a downpour streamed, I knew the rain was sent, in trust.
O wild wind, whisper to me, tell the hour, the tale untold,
Of what transpired, what secrets unfurled, in days of old.
I, a stranger, lost and blind, to dawn's embrace, to night's dark hold.
O wild wind, tell the hour.
I, a stranger, lost and blind, to dawn's embrace, to night's dark hold.
