Why are there boundaries at every step
Saarii zamiin jo terii hai

It revolves around the sun; why then is there so much darkness?

So many dreams are shattering; who will gather up the pieces?
Dil ke darvaazo.n par taale
Locks on the doors of our hearts;
Taalo.n par yeh za.ng hai kyo.n
Why have these locks rusted?
Ishwar allah tere jahaan me.n nafrat kyo.n hai ja.ng hai kyo.n
