Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics*:



Haay Re Duniya
WOE BETIDE THE WORLD,

Haay Re Duniya
WOE BETIDE THE WORLD,

Kitni Dil Aazaar Hai Duniya
HOW HEARTLESS IS THE WORLD!

Jhooto.n Ka Darbaar Hai Duniya
A COURT OF LIARS IS THE WORLD,

Jhooto.n Ka Darbaar Hai Duniya
A COURT OF LIARS IS THE WORLD

Haay Re Duniya...
WOE BETIDE THE WORLD....


Waqt Pa.re Tau Kaam Naa Aaye,
IN TIMES OF NEED IT SERVES NOT,

Waqt Pa.re Tau, Kaam Naa Aaye,
IN TIMES OF NEED IT SERVES NOT,

Lak.ri Ki Talwaar Hai Duniya
A WOODEN SWORD IS THIS WORLD,

Lak.ri Ki Talwaar Hai Duniya,
A WOODEN SWORD IS THIS WORLD,

Haay Re Duniya...
WOE BETIDE THE WORLD.


Kaun Kisi Ka Gham Khaata Hai,
WHO COMMISERATES WITH ANOTHER?

Kaun, Kisi Ka, Gham Khaata Hai,
WHO COMMISERATES WITH ANOTHER?

Kehna Ko, Gham-Khwaar Hai Duniya
AND THEY SAY, SYMPATHISER IS THIS WORLD!

Haay Re Duniya...
WOE BETIDE THE WORLD.

Kitni Dil Aazaar Hai Duniya
HOW HEARTLESS IS THE WORLD!

Jhooto.n Ka Darbaar Hai Duniya
A COURT OF LIARS IS THE WORLD,

Jhooto.n Ka Darbaar Hai Duniya
A COURT OF LIARS IS THE WORLD

Haay Re Duniya...
WOE BETIDE THE WORLD....

NASIR.
