Here is the english translation in case someone might be interested

“Har Taraf Har Jagah Beshumar”

har taraf har jagah beshumar aadmi
phir bhi tanhaiyon ka shikaar aadmi

[In every direction, every place, there are several people
Even then, man is a victim of loneliness]

subah se shaam tak bojh dhota hua
apni hi laash ka khud mazaar aadmi

[From morning to evening, he keeps bearing burden
A man is a grave for his own corpse]

har taraf bhaagte daudhte raaste
har taraf aadmi ka shikaar aadmi

[In every direction there are paths running
Everywhere, man is a victim (hunted by) of man]

roz jeeta hua roz marta hua
har naye din naya intezar aadmi

[Everyday he lives and evryday he dies
Every new day is a new waiting for man]

zindagi ka mukkaddar safar dar safar
aakhri saans tak bekaraar aadmi

[The fate of life is journey after journey
Till the last breath, man is always without peace]
