Log Kya Kahenge

I try to wipe all the tears away
[I try to wipe all the tears away]
I don’t know why I’m crying
[I don’t know why I’m crying]
My heart’s okay, it don’t hurt so bad
[My heart’s okay, it don’t hurt so bad]
I am just mourning the time
[I am just mourning the time]

That I lost
[That I lost]
Tera pati agar zulm kar raha sudhar raha nahi
[If your husband is being cruel and not improving]
Toh bhi ghar nahi chhodna beti
[Still, don’t leave the house, daughter]
Log kya kahenge?
[What will people say?]

Aisa nahi waisa kar
[Don’t do this, do that]
Family parampara hai
[It’s a family tradition]
Alag kuch karega toh log kya kahenge?
[If you do something different, what will people say?]
Aur log kya kahenge?
[And what will people say?]

Khaali log kya kahenge?
[Just what will people say?]
Yahi soch soch ke jee rahe hai hum bas
[We are just living thinking about this]
Log kya kahenge?
[What will people say?]
Bure waqt pe koi aayega nahi
[No one will come in bad times]

Ek waqt ka khilayega nahi
[Won’t feed you for a single meal]
Aur tum soch rahe yaha pe ki
[And you are thinking here that]
Log kya kahenge? Waah!
[What will people say? Wow!]
Dimag khol deewano se
[Open your mind from the crazies]

Aankhein khol begano se
[Open your eyes from strangers]
Kyunki nahi koi aayega
[Because no one will come]
Jab tu takleef mein hoga
[When you are in trouble]
Aansu pochne ke liye
[To wipe your tears]
Khud ki maa bhi nahi beta
[Not even your own mother, son]

Welcome to duniya dost, swagat hai
[Welcome to the world, friend, you are welcome]
Kya tu ready hai?
[Are you ready?]
Log kya soche yeh tu soche toh tu qaidi hai
[If you think about what people think, then you are a prisoner]
Nahi chahiye teri salaah
[I don’t need your advice]
Mujhe jaana aage
[I want to move forward]
Baggage idhar hai heavy hai
[The baggage here is heavy]
Jeb mein khaali penny hai
[My pocket is empty]
Jo bhi happening hai
[Whatever is happening]
Likh daala khudse maine taqdeer yaha pe
[I have written my own destiny here]
Jo bhi likha tha usko maine badla yaha pe
[Whatever was written, I have changed it here]
Karke mehnat thoda sehmat
[By working hard, I agree a little]
Zulm tu seh mat
[Don’t tolerate oppression]
Maalik tu rehmat
[Master, you are a blessing]
Chhata par duniya se tu bhay mat kha
[Under an umbrella, but don’t be afraid of the world]

Ha doobe gham mein wahi jo sabke soch mein pagal hai
[He who is mad in everyone’s thoughts drowns in sorrow]
Jo khudko maar ke ghota hai baaton pe sabke haan kare
[The one who kills himself and agrees to everyone’s words]
Tu behta saagar hai
[You are a flowing ocean]
Thandi mein chaadar hai
[A blanket in the cold]
Bas itna jaan le
[Just know this much]
Koi zulm na kare
[No one should commit oppression]
Ha maasoom pe kya sunke lene ke liye betiyaan?
[What about the innocent? Are daughters just for listening?]
Kya tumpe guzar raha batane ke liye koi nahi hai?
[Is there no one to tell what you are going through?]
Family ko bolo toh woh bolenge adjust kar
[If you tell the family, they will say adjust]
Bacche ka padhayi hai par har din yaha ladayi hai
[The child has to study, but there is a fight here every day]
Maa-baap aur bhai hai par saath khaali khudki parchhayi hai
[There are parents and a brother, but only your own shadow is with you]
Woh mar bhi jaaye farak nahi
[It doesn’t matter if she dies]
Log kya bolenge inko isiki parwah hai
[They only care about what people will say]
Saala yahi toh sachhai hai
[Damn, this is the truth]
Yahi toh sachhai hai
[This is the truth]
