Koi Mujhko Yeh Bataaye
May someone please tell me
Kyun Yeh Doori Aur Majboori
Why are there so many distances/differences and compulsions?
Iss Duniya Ki Kya Story
What is the story of this world?
Kiske Haath Mein Iski Doori
Who’s the one who pulls the strings?

Right Mein Building Aasmanon Ko Chhu Ri
On the right, I see a building touching the skies
Left Mein Bacchi Bhookhi Sadkon Pe So Ri
On the left, I see a hungry child sleeping on the streets
Kaisi Yeh Majboori Paisa Rehna Hai Zaroori
What kind of compulsion is this, having money has become so important
Nahi To Kaise Hogi Poori Teri Seena Zori
Otherwise how will You get Your bragging rights?

Lambi Gaadi Jitni Kiski Kholi
Someone has a car that’s the size of someone else’s home
Haan Ek Chawal Ki Khaali Bori Ek Paiso Se Bhari Poori
(On one side)There’s an empty sack of rice, while the other(empty sack) one is filled with money
Kaisi Ye Majboori, Haan, Bol Na
What kind of compulsion is this, tell me?

Ab Dekho Toh Hum Paas Lekin
We are so close to each other but
Socho Kitni Doori Hai
Look there is so much distance/difference between us
Ab Kaisi Yeh Majboori Hai
What kind of compulsion is this
Socho Kitni Doori Hai
Just think how much distance is there(between us)

Ab Dekho Toh Hum Paas Lekin
We are so close to each other but
Socho Kitni Doori Hai
Look there is so much distance between us
Ab Kaisi Yeh Majboori Hai
What kind of compulsion is this
Socho Kitni Doori Hai
Just think how much distance is there

Ye Toh Saara Do Sau Takka Done Hai
This is 200% certain
Jitna Kaala Tera Mann, Utna Kaala Tera Dhan
Your heart is as black as the black money You have
Woh Tarfa Shoot Karte Bole Gun
On that side they are shooting using guns
Yeh Tarfa Karte Hain Chillam
And on this side all people can do is just scream
Wahaan Pe Peti Peti Dhan
There they have suitcases full of money
Yahaan Pe Kheti Kheti Gandh
Here there are fields of garbage
Ek Duniya Mein Do Duniya Ujala Ek Andhera
In one world, there are two worlds, one is full of light, another is full of darkness
Ek Sethji Aur Ek Chela
There is one master, and there is one servant
Kahin To Motimahal Mein Koi Jee Raha Hai Akela
One is living alone lavishly in his palace
Kahin To Local Dibbe Mein Hai Rele Pe Hai Rela
Other one is struggling to find some space to stand in the overpopulated local train
Unki Sewa Inki Mewa, Haan
Caring about their master is the servant’s duty

Ab Dekho Toh Hum Paas Lekin
We are so close to each other but
Socho Kitni Doori Hai
Look there is so much distance between us
Ab Kaisi Yeh Majboori Hai
What kind of compulsion is this
Socho Kitni Doori Hai
Just think how much distance is there

Ab Dekho Toh Hum Paas Lekin
We are so close to each other but
Socho Kitni Doori Hai
Look there is so much distance between us
Ab Kaisi Yeh Majboori Hai
What kind of compulsion is this
Socho Kitni Doori Hai
Just think how much distance is there

Ghar Pe Sabke Apne Apne Gham Hain
Everyone has their share of issues/problems in their homes
Deewaarein Zyaada Aur Bole Kamre Yahaan Kam Hain
There are more walls and less rooms here
Soch Mein Yeh Wazan Hai Kyunki Khali Sab Bartan Hain
There is strength/credibility in this thought because the utensils are all empty(there is no food)
Mera Karma Ya Karam Hai Ab Toh Todna Yeh Bharam Hai
Even if this is due to my deeds or due to my destiny, I want to shatter this illusion now

Mujhko Seene Se Laga Ke Kuch Nahi Kehti
Hugging me, she says nothing
Meri Maa Bas Roti, Meri Maa Meri Fauji
My mother just cries, my mother is a soldier/fighter
Meri Maa Meri Boli, Meri Lori, Mat Rona Mat Rona
My mother is my voice, please don’t cry this lullaby
Ab Toh Honi Hai Anhoni, Ab Honi Hai Anhoni Maa
Something unexpected/unthinkable is about to happen now, mother

Ab Dekho Toh Hum Paas Lekin
We are so close to each other but
Socho Kitni Doori Hai
Look there is so much distance between us
Ab Kaisi Yeh Majboori Hai
What kind of compulsion is this
Socho Kitni Doori Hai
