ye kaisa jamana ye kaisa jamana
ye kaisa jamana ye kaisa jamana
kya iska yahi kaam hai
jalto ko jalana jagwalo batana
ye kaisa jamana ye kaisa jamana
ye kaisa jamana ye kaisa jamana

o gam ki ghatao ne tujhe aake hai ghera
o gam ki ghatao ne tujhe aake hai ghera
kismat meri hai ye ke hai
har aur andhera andhera andhera
gir jaau jo thokar se to hansata hai jamana
ye kaisa jamana
ye kaisa jamana ye kaisa jamana

ek chot jigar mere ne kuchh aise hai khai
ek chot jigar mere ne kuchh aise hai khai
har aas meri aankhon mein aansu bhar laai
ab kisko kahun haal apne gam ka fasana
ye kaisa jamana
ye kaisa jamana ye kaisa jamana

ji jal gaya duniyan se
sun duniyan vale jine ki nahi aas mujhe
ae ae paas bula le
dukh dard ke maro ka fakat mera thikana
ye kaisa jamana
ye kaisa jamana ye kaisa jamana
kya iska yahi kaam hai jalto ko jalana
ye kaisa jamana
ye kaisa jamana ye kaisa jamana
ye kaisa jamana ye kaisa jamana

This age, a shadowed tapestry, this age.
This age, a shadowed tapestry, this age.
Is its sole purpose this:
To ignite the burning, to tell the world?
This age, a shadowed tapestry, this age.
This age, a shadowed tapestry, this age.

Oh, the clouds of sorrow have encircled you,
Oh, the clouds of sorrow have encircled you.
Is this my fate?
Darkness everywhere, a veil of endless night.
If I stumble, the age laughs, a cruel jest.
This age, a shadowed tapestry.
This age, a shadowed tapestry, this age.

A wound, deep within my heart, has struck,
A wound, deep within my heart, has struck.
Every hope now weeps in my eyes,
Flooding with tears.
To whom can I tell the tale of my grief?
Tell the world.
This age, a shadowed tapestry, this age.

My soul burns with the world,
Listen, people of the world, I hold no hope for life.
Oh, call me near,
The only refuge for those wounded by pain.
This age, a shadowed tapestry.
This age, a shadowed tapestry, this age.
Is its sole purpose this: to ignite the burning?
This age, a shadowed tapestry.
This age, a shadowed tapestry, this age.
This age, a shadowed tapestry, this age.
