Thukraa na deN jahaan ko kahiiN bedilii se ham
[ mixed with movie dialog ]
I am wearied with the struggle of life
May I not get to reject the world out of dejection!
[mixed with movie dialog]
ham Gamzdaa haiN , laaeN kahaaN se xushii ke giit
kahaaN se xushii ke giit …
deNge vo hii jo paaeNge is zindagii se ham [ x2 ]
I am grief stricken, from where would I bring songs of joy?
songs of joy … from where?
I will only give whatever I get from life
ubhreNge ek baar abhii dil ke valvle
abhii dil ke valvle …
maanaa ki dab gae haiN Gam-e-zindagii se ham [ x2 ]
The heart's spirits will still rise once more
The heart's spirits … once more …
although, granted, I was buried by the grief of life
lo aaj ham ne toR diyaa …
lo aaj ham ne toR diyaa rishtaa-e-ummiid
rishtaa-e-ummiid …
lo ab kabhii gilaa na kareNge kisii se ham [ x2 ]
See, today I have broken …
today, I have broken any hope of a relationship
hope of a relationship …
See now, I won't ever again complain about anyone
