Roman Transliteration/
English Translation of the original Urdu-Hindi Lyrics:
yeh duniya patang nit badle yeh rang,
THIS WORLD’S A KITE, ALWAYS CHANGING ITS SHADE!
koee jaane naa u.Daane waalaa kaun hai,
WHO’S FLYING IT, NO ONE KNOWS!
yeh duniya patang nit badle yeh rang,
THIS WORLD’S A KITE, ALWAYS CHANGING ITS SHADE!
koee jaane naa u.Daane waalaa kaun hai,
WHO’S FLYING IT, NO ONE KNOWS!
(Chorus:
yeh duniya patang nit badle yeh rang,
THIS WORLD’S A KITE, ALWAYS CHANGING ITS SHADE!
koee jaane naa u.Daane waalaa kaun hai,
WHO’S FLYING IT, NO ONE KNOWS!)
sab apnee u.Daaye.n yeh jaan naa paaye.n,
ALL FLY THEIR OWN, NOT KNOWING
kab kis kee cha.Dhe kis kee kaT jaaye,
WHOSE WILL GO HIGH AND WHOSE WILL FALL!
yeh hai kis ko pataa ruKh badle hawaa,
WHO KNOWS THE WIND WILL CHANGE DIRECTION
aur Dor idhar se udhar haT jaaye,
AND THE STRING WILL MOVE FROM HERE TO THERE!
ho voh Dor yaa kamaan,
WHETHER ‘TIS THE STRING OR THE BOW,
yaa zameen aasmaan,
OR THE EARTH AND THE SKY,
koyee jaane naa banaane waalaa kaun hai,
WHO’S THE BUILDER, NO ONE KNOWS!
(Chorus:
yeh duniya patang nit badle yeh rang,
THIS WORLD’S A KITE, ALWAYS CHANGING ITS SHADE!
koee jaane naa u.Daane waalaa kaun hai,
WHO’S FLYING IT, NO ONE KNOWS!
yeh duniya patang nit badle yeh rang,
THIS WORLD’S A KITE, ALWAYS CHANGING ITS SHADE!
koee jaane naa u.Daane waalaa kaun hai,
WHO’S FLYING IT, NO ONE KNOWS!)
u.De aka.D aka.D dhan-waalo.n kee patang,
WITH EGO AND PRIDE SOARS THE KITE OF THE RICH,
sadaa dekhaa hai Ghareeb se hee pech la.De,
‘TIS ALWAYS SEEN ENTANGLING WITH THE POOR!
hai Ghuroor kaa huzoor sar neechaa sadaa,
THE ARROGANT HEAD IS FOREVER LOW, SIR,
jo bhee jitnaa uThaaye usse utnee pa.De,
AS MUCH AS ONE LIFTS IT, THAT MANY BLOWS HE RECEIVES!
kis baat kaa gumaan, bhalaa kare insaan,
WELL, FOR WHAT SHOULD MAN BE PROUD OF
jab jaane naa banaane waalaa kaun hai,
WHEN HE DOESN’T KNOW WHO THE BUILDER IS!
Chorus:
(yeh duniya patang nit badle yeh rang,
THIS WORLD’S A KITE, ALWAYS CHANGING ITS SHADE!
koee jaane naa u.Daane waalaa kaun hai,
WHO’S FLYING IT, NO ONE KNOWS!
yeh duniya patang nit badle yeh rang,
THIS WORLD’S A KITE, ALWAYS CHANGING ITS SHADE!
koee jaane naa u.Daane waalaa kaun hai,
WHO’S FLYING IT, NO ONE KNOWS!
yeh duniya patang nit badle yeh rang,
THIS WORLD’S A KITE, ALWAYS CHANGING ITS SHADE!
koee jaane naa u.Daane waalaa kaun hai,
WHO’S FLYING IT, NO ONE KNOWS!)
yeh hai duniya kee reet banne kisee kee naa meet,
NOT BEING FRIENDS WITH ANYONE, ‘TIS CUSTOMARY WITH THE WORLD,
koee cheez bhee hai preet nahee.n isko pataa,
THERE’S SOMETHING CALLED LOVE, IT DOESN’T KNOW!
yeh hai duniya kee reet banne kisee kee naa meet,
NOT BEING FRIENDS WITH ANYONE, ‘TIS CUSTOMARY WITH THE WORLD,
koee cheez bhee hai preet nahee.n isko pataa,
THERE’S SOMETHING CALLED LOVE, IT DOESN’T KNOW!
yeh hai jhooTh kee Ghulaam jooTh subho jhooTh shaam,
‘TIS A SLAVE TO FALSEHOOD, SPEAKING LIES MORN AND EVE,
kabhee bhool se naa kare kisee kaa bhalaa,
NEVER DOING GOOD TO ANYONE EVEN BY A SLIP!
yahaa.n miltaa hai naik,
HERE ONE COMES ACROSS A VIRTUOUS PERSON
koee laakho.n me.n aik,
WHO’S ONE AMONGST A MILLION!
par usse apnaane waalaa kaun hai,
BUT WHO’S THERE TO ACCEPT HIM?
yeh duniya patang nit badle yeh rang,
THIS WORLD’S A KITE, ALWAYS CHANGING ITS SHADE!
koee jaane naa u.Daane waalaa kaun hai,
WHO’S FLYING IT, NO ONE KNOWS!
yeh duniya patang nit badle yeh rang,
THIS WORLD’S A KITE, ALWAYS CHANGING ITS SHADE!
koee jaane naa u.Daane waalaa kaun hai,
WHO’S FLYING IT, NO ONE KNOWS!
