be asar hai sari aahe ilteja ye raayega
na koi humdard apna na koi m
o hum sunaye kisko apni dastaane bebasi
zindagi aye zindagi zindagi aye zindagi
ik pal mein jaane ki kismat chaal kaisi chal gayi
loriyan thhi jo labhon pe aahon mein kyun dhal gayi
kyun aansuon mein beh gaye woh
khwaab jo ankhon mei thhe dil ki har ik
aarzoo bhi saath dil ke jal gayi o kis tarah jhele

koi ab waqt ki ye sandili zindagi ae zindagi
zindagi ae zindagi bujh gaya har ek manzar
chaand taare kho gaye na woh aayi jo banwar mei
do kinare kho gaye in raaston se mitt gaaye
saare hi kadmon ke nishaan mera humsafar khoya toh jaise
sab sahare kho gaaye ho manzilein bhi ajnabi hai
rahguzar bhi ajnabi zindagi aye zindagi
zindagi aye zindagi bhatke huwe hai raahon mei

insaan tere ya rabb mere insaniyat bhoole hai yeh
insaan tere ya rabb mere sab jaan ke anjaan hai
bas naam ke insaan hai hai bas se bhi badtar huwe
insaan tere ya rabb mere
mere khuda karam ka apne jalwa dikha
tu sahara de sunahon doobe dilon ki ilteja
tu sahara de mere khuda, mere khuda tu sahara de

All pleas fall unheard, a futile plea,
No solace offered, no comforting decree.
To whom shall I unveil my plight, my despair?
Life, O life, life, life, life, life!
Life, O life, life, life, life, life!

Fate's cruel game, a moment's swift decree,
Where lullabies on lips now weep, you see.
Why did dreams, once held within the eyes,
In tears dissolve, beneath the weeping skies?
Each heart's desire, in the heart's fire, did flee.
How can one bear this time's harsh decree?

Life, O life, life, life, life, life!
Life, O life, life, life, life, life!
Each scene is dimmed, the moon and stars now gone,
She did not come, both shores in whirlpools drawn.
From these paths vanished every footprint's trace,
My companion lost, all supports withdrawn.
The destinations are unknown, the path is bare.

Life, O life, life, life, life, life!
Life, O life, life, life, life, life!
Lost in the paths, your children, Lord, do stray,
Humanity forgotten, in disarray,
Knowing, yet blind, mere shadows of men,
Worse than the worst, Your children go astray,
My God, show Your grace, Your radiant light, give aid.
To hearts submerged in sin, grant Your sweet parade,
My God, my God, your help is all I crave.
My God, my God, your help is all I crave.
