English Translation
|
| Gham hai kyun har khushi kam hai kyun yeh bata |
Tell me why there's more sorrow and less joy |
| Har ghadi aankh bhi nam hai kyun yeh bata |
Tell me why there are tears in the eyes |
| Tune kis jurm ki paayi yeh saza |
What crime did you commit to get this punishment |
| Dard se dil ka sangam hai kyun yeh bata |
Tell me why there's pain in the heart |
| Tune kis jurm ki paayi yeh saza |
What crime did you commit to get this punishment |
|
|
| Tujhpe joh sitam hua |
The injustice that happened with you |
| Doosron ka paap tha |
Was due to the sin of others |
| Is mein dosh hai tera kya |
There's no fault of yours in this |
| Jispe zulm ho gaya |
The one who goes through cruelty |
| Usko hi mile saza |
That same person receives the punishment |
| Kis kitaab mein hai likha |
In which book is this written |
| Tu kyun odhe sar par ilzaamo ki chaadar |
Why are you covered in a sheet of accusations |
| Jab ke hai tu hi nirdosh yahan yeh bata |
When you're innocent, tell me why |
|
|
| Gham hai kyun har khushi kam hai kyun yeh bata |
Tell me why there's more sorrow and less joy |
| Har ghadi aankh bhi nam hai kyun yeh bata |
Tell me why there are tears in the eyes |
|
|
| Naari joh bhi ho sahe |
A woman must bear the pain |
| Sar jhukaye chup rahe |
She should bow her head down and remain quiet |
| Yeh riwaaz hai duniya ka |
These are the customs of the world |
| Tu yeh reet chhod de |
You give up these customs |
| Tu yeh rasm todh de |
You break these rituals |
| Yeh ilaaj hai duniya ka |
This is the cure for the world |
| Kyun aansun peeti hai, kyun dukh mein jeeti hai |
Why do you drink your tears and live in sorrow |
| Kyun aankhon mein gham ka hai dhuan yeh bata |
Why is there the smoke of sorrow in your eyes, tell me why |
|
|
| Gham hai kyun har khushi kam hai kyun yeh bata |
Tell me why there's more sorrow and less joy |
| Har ghadi aankh bhi nam hai kyun yeh bata |
Tell me why there are tears in the eyes |
| Tune kis jurm ki paayi yeh saza |
What crime did you commit to get this punishment |
