zindagi ek dard hai
isse dava ka kaam le
zindagi ek dard hai
isse dava ka kaam le
hans ke apne sar pe
duniya bhar ke tu ilzaam le
zindagi ek dard hai
isse dava ka kaam le
hans ke apne sar pe
duniya bhar ke tu ilzaam le
zindagi ek dard hai

ek gulshan hai ye duniya
ye jami ye aasma
ek gulshan hai ye duniya
ye jami ye aasma
phul chunkar log kaante fenk dete hai yaha
phul se behatar hai wo kaanta jo daman tham le
phul se behatar hai wo kaanta jo daman tham le
hans ke apne sar pe
duniya bhar ke tu ilzaam le
zindagi ek dard hai

is jahan me kya nahi
insaan ko karna pada
is jahan me kya nahi
insaan ko karna pada
jism se ji se juda is jaan ko karna pada
waqt na aaye kisi par ye khuda ka naam le
waqt na aaye kisi par ye khuda ka naam le
hans ke apne sar pe
duniya bhar ke tu ilzaam le
zindagi ek dard hai
isse dava ka kaam le
hans ke apne sar pe
duniya bhar ke tu ilzaam le
zindagi ek dard hai

Life, a wound that bleeds,
Let it be your healing balm.

Let it be your healing balm.
Laugh, and on your shoulders,
Bear the world's harsh blame.

This world, a blooming garden,
Earth and sky entwined.
This world, a blooming garden,
Earth and sky entwined.
Flowers plucked, their thorns discarded, left behind.
Better the thorn that clings, that claims your own,
Better the thorn that clings, that claims your own.
Laugh, and on your shoulders,
Bear the world's harsh blame.
Life, a wound that bleeds.

In this realm, what was not
Humanity compelled to do?
In this realm, what was not
Humanity compelled to do?
From the self, the soul departed, bid adieu.
May this fate never befall, take God's name, anew.

Bear the world's harsh blame.
