aye dost hass ke zara sab se mil
toofan hi mile ya sahil
khafa hone se kya hasil, hass ke tu mil
ye duniya ka khela hai haar jit ka rela
tu har hal mein gaate jana
aye dost hass ke zara sab se mil
hass ke tu mil

thokar se kanpe chalenge phir kya
anjam soche padenge phir kya
gum se jo seheme hassenge phir kya
jane ka darr ho jiyenge phir kya
ye duniya haiwani par jina hai phir bhi jani
tu har haal mein gaate jana
aye dost hass ke zara sab se mil
hass ke tu mil

ye zindagi hai hassi rehguzar
gum aur khushi raah mein do shehar
dono mein kuch pal to thehrega tu
behtar hai gum se bhi hass ke guzar
hai do lakh abhi basha ye ajab ajab tamasha
tu har haal mein gaate jana
aye dost hass ke zara sab se mil
hass ke tu mil

naakaami ko tu hairaan kar
maayusiyon ko pareshaan kar
himmat ka apani hi le imtihaan
kuchh pal andhera ho bilkul na darr
ho roshan yeh chehra bas khila khila sa yaara
tu har haal mein gaate jaana ho
aye dost hass ke jara sabse mil
toofan hi mile ya sahil
khafa hone se kya hasil, hass ke tu mil
ye duniya ka khela hai haar jit ka rela
tu har haal mein gaate jana
aye dost hass ke zara sab se mil
hass ke tu mil

Friend, with a smile, meet everyone you find,
Whether tempestuous storms or shores of peace, aligned.
What gain in anger? Meet with laughter's grace.
This world's a game of loss and winning race.
In every plight, let your song arise,
Friend, with a smile, let joy fill your eyes.
Smile and meet.

If stumbles shake, what then, what end?
If fear of outcomes makes your heart descend?
If sorrow’s grip makes laughter cease to flow?
If dread of leaving steals the life you know?
This world, a beast, yet life is ours to keep,
In every plight, let your song sweetly weep.
Friend, with a smile, meet everyone you find.
Smile and meet.

Life is a path of laughter, winding free,
Where sorrow and joy, two cities, you will see.
In both, a while, you'll pause, your journey's quest.
Best to laugh through sorrow, to find your rest.
Two hundred thousand souls, a wondrous show,
In every plight, let your song softly grow.
Friend, with a smile, meet everyone you find.
Smile and meet.

Confound defeat, with courage's might,
And chase despair away into the night.
Test your own strength, with a spirit bold,
Though shadows fall, never lose your hold.
Let your face shine, a blooming, bright array,
In every plight, let your song light the way.
Friend, with a smile, meet everyone you find,
Whether tempestuous storms or shores of peace aligned.
What gain in anger? Meet with laughter's grace.
This world's a game of loss and winning race.
In every plight, let your song arise,
Friend, with a smile, let joy fill your eyes.
Smile and meet.
