ajab khel hai tera jalim jamana
kisi ko hasana kisi ko rulana
ajab khel hai tera jalim jamana
kisi ko hasana kisi ko rulana
ajab khel hai

kahi tune ujade huye ghar basaye
kahi tune ujade huye ghar basaye
kisi ko kahi kar diya bethikana
kar diya bethikana
ajab khel hai tera jalim jamana
kisi ko hasana kisi ko rulana
ajab khel hai

kisi ko to di tune duniya ki daulat
kisi ko to di tune duniya ki daulat
kisi ko diya aansuo ka khajana
kisi ko diya aansuo ka khajana
aansuo ka khajana
ajab khel hai tera jalim jamana
kisi ko hasana kisi ko rulana
ajab khel hai

tera bhed ab tak na paya kisi ne
tera bhed ab tak na paya kisi ne
kisi ne na samjha kisi ne na jana
haye kisi ne na jana
ajab khel hai tera jalim jamana
kisi ko hasana kisi ko rulana
ajab khel hai

A cruel world, thine own strange game,
To laugh with some, and weep with same.
A cruel world, thine own strange game,
To laugh with some, and weep with same,
A strange, strange game.

Some broken homes, by thee restored,
Some cast adrift, a scattered horde.
Some broken homes, by thee restored,
Some cast adrift, no place to hoard,
No place to hoard.
A cruel world, thine own strange game,
To laugh with some, and weep with same,
A strange, strange game.

To some, the world's rich wealth you lend,
To some, a tear-filled life you send.
To some, the world's rich wealth you lend,
To some, a tear-filled life you send,
A tear-filled end.
A cruel world, thine own strange game,
To laugh with some, and weep with same,
A strange, strange game.

Thy hidden truths, no soul has found,
No heart has known, no mind has bound.
Thy hidden truths, no soul has found,
No heart has known, no mind has bound,
Ah, none has bound!
A cruel world, thine own strange game,
To laugh with some, and weep with same,
A strange, strange game.
