Jedike Phirai Ankhi

```

Jedike phirai ankhi

Ke jena balichhe daki

Britha bela baye jai

Jib kata asahai

Nayan mudiya rakhi

Aro ki shunite baki

Britha bela baye jai

Kena eta nirupai

```

Translation

```

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. ```
