Dukhee man mere

Dukhee man mere sun meraa kahanaa
Jahaa.nahee chainaa vahaa nahee rahanaa

Dard hamaaraa koee na jaane
Apanee garaj ke sab hai diivaane
kisake aage ronaa roe
Des paraayaa log begaane

Laakh yahaa jholee phailaa le
kuchh nahee denge is jag vaale
Patthar ke dil mom na honge
Chaahe jitanaa neer bahaale

Apane liye kab hai ye mele
Ham hai har ik mele me akele
Kyaa paaegaa usame rahakar
jo duniyaa jeevan se khele

O my sad soul, listen to what I say, Never stay in the place that angers you.

No one here feels my pain because everyone is obsessed with pretension. Who can I narrate my woes to in a country of foreign people?

You can extend your hands begging a million times but no one will give you anything. Hearts of stone can never melt even if tears flow like a river.

These carnivals are not for me, instead, I shall remain within the festivals. What is to be gained by staying here, in the world where people play?
