Jaoon kahan bata ay dil
Duniya bari hai sangdil
Chandni aayi ghar jalaane
Sujhe na koi manzil
Where can I go, please tell me oh heart
This world is very cruel
The moonlight has come to burn my house
I can see no destination ahead

Banke toote yahaan aarzoo ke mahal
Yeh zameen asmaan bhi gaye hai badal
Kehti hai zindagi is jahaan se nikal...
The palaces of desire that once stood here have now crumbled
This earth and sky too are changed
Life tells me to leave this world

Haye is par to aansuon ki dagar
Jaane us par kya ho kise hai khabar
Thokare kha rahi har kadam par nazar...
This side is but a pathway of tears
What is on the other side, who knows
Here we stumble at each step and each glance.

Jaoon kahan bata ay dil
Duniya bari hai sangdil
Chandni aayi ghar jalaane
Sujhe na koi manzil
Where can I go, please tell me oh heart
The world is very cruel
The moonlight has come to burn my house
I can see no destination ahead
