1/2: kaanTa

burii sarisht na badli

jagah badalne se

chaman mein aa ke bhi

kaanTa gulaab ho na saka

bad nature doesn't get better

by changing location

even by entering the garden

the thorn couldn't turn into a flower

2/2: kaanTa

na humsafar

na kisi humnasheen se niklega

hamaare paanv kaa kaanta

hamain se niklega

neither our companions nor

our dear friends can help

the thorns in our feet

we got to take them out ourselves
