Jedike phirai ankhi
Jedike phirai ankhiKe jena baliche daki
Britha bela baye jai
Jib kato asohai
Nayan mudiya rakhi
Amar ki shunite baki
Britha bela bayi jai
Kena eta nirupai
Whichever way I cast my glance
I hear someone whispering
Time is passing by,
All human beings hopeless and helpless.
I keep my eyes shut.
I have nothing more to hear.
Time is passing by.
Alas, I know not why and how
I am so helplessly and totally lost.
