Zakham jaab bhi koi zehan-o-dil per laga ,
zindagi ki taraf ek dareecha khulaa,
hum bhi goya kisi saaz ke taar hain ,
chot khaate rahe gun-gunate rahe.
Kal kuch aisa hua mein bahot tak gaya,
is liye sune ke bhi unsuni kar gaya,
kitni yaadone ke bhatke hua kaarvan ,
dil ke zakhmon ke dar khat-khatate rahe.

Strange roads of the strange city
kept smiling on my loneliness
for long time I wandered there
for long time you came to my mind
hardships came, hardships I suffered
I lived daily as if I had breathed out
Life kept on testing me
I kept on testing my life
***
So on and so forth I lived my life
What was wrong me, you didn't like?
I was ready to give my life for you
Money not love was of value to you
I wish I had never met you
No I cannot live without you
Take me back my darling
All my life I'll be a serf to you
Kiss your rear no matter what you do
My heart has now for ever fallen for you
O my poor bastardly heart, I am
Suffering now only because of you!
