1/3: daastaan

'majrooh' qaafile ki mere

daastaan ye hai

rahbar ne mil ke luuT liya

raahzan ke saath

of our caravans, majrooh,

the story is this

the ruler has looted us

joining hands with the robber

2/3: daastaan

khudi ka raazdaan ho kar

khudi ki daastaan ho jaa

jahaan se kya gharaz tujh ko

tuu aap apnaa jahaan ho jaa

by being your own confidant

you become your own story

why so obsessed with this world

you become your own universe

3/3: daastaan

sun ke saari

daastaan-e-ranj-o-gham

kah diya us ne ki

phir hum kya karen

after listening to my entire

story of sorrow and despair

she said

well, what can i do?
