aye hai dilruba tujhko kya pata
jindagi mein har dil ko jitkar jina hai jindagi
o papaa ae hai dilruba tujhko kya pata
jindagi mein har dil ko jitkar
jina hai jindagi o papaa

kyo geet gaau kyo muskuraau
tu ye jane na jane na jane
meri tamnna meri jhalak ke
sab hai deewane deewane deewane
ye mera hai jamana meri hai ye mahfil
o ri jani tujhe kahabar kya
o papaa ae hai dilruba tujhko kya pata
jindagi mein har dil ko jitkar
jina hai jindagi o papaa o papaa

ae hai dilruba tune sach kaha
jindagi mein har dil ko jitkar jina hai jindagi
ae hai dilruba tune sach kaha
jindagi mein har dil ko jitkar jina hai jindagi
o papaa ae hai dilruba tune sach kaha
jindagi mein har dil ko jitkar
jina hai jindagi o papaa o papaa

duniya chaman hai tu daali daali
khilti chali ja chali ja chali ja
teri najar hai tere najare
milke chali ja chali ja chali ja
o fir tab hai majaa kahi ruk jaye
milke kabhi kabhi naina jhuk jaye
fir bhi tab hai maja kahi ruk jaaye
milke kabhi kabhi naina jhuk jaye
chalna jindagi hai rukne mein kya hai
o ri jaani tujhe khabar kya
o papaa ae hai dilruba tune sach kaha
jindagi mein har dil ko jitkar
jina hai jindagi o papaa o papaa

nadani hai ranj jo ham bhar dena dil ko
dekh dekh pinjare mein kaid kar dena dil ko
baandhe dil ki dor kaam hai aajadi ka
phul patti janjir naam hai aajadi ka
tu hai chandni chal ke fail ja manjil manjil
ghar ka deepak kya maja fire mahfil mahfil
apna dil hai apni raat hai
apne apne dil ki baat hai
sab tera dil tera sakhi duje ka hai

duje ka hai dil tera sakhi
duja bhi hai kya sitam hai ji
apna hi gam kaun kam hai ji
auro mein tu nahi kho saki
apni bhi tu nahi ho saki
wo bhi kya jindagi jo kisi aur ho
o ri jaani tujhe khabar kya
o papaa ae hai dilruba tune sach kaha
jindagi mein har dil ko jitkar
jina hai jindagi o papaa o papaa

Oh, Beloved, do you truly know?
To win each heart, to live, is life's true flow.
Oh, Papa, Beloved, do you truly know?
To win each heart,
To live, is life's true flow. Oh, Papa.

Why sing a song? Why wear a smile?
You do not know, you do not know, not for a while.
My yearning, my glimpse,
All are bewitched, bewitched, bewitched.
This is my time, this my gathering,
Oh, my love, what news do you bear?
Oh, Papa, Beloved, do you truly know?
To win each heart,
To live, is life's true flow. Oh, Papa, oh, Papa.

Oh, Beloved, you have spoken truth,
To win each heart, to live, is life's sweet youth.
Oh, Beloved, you have spoken truth,
To win each heart, to live, is life's sweet youth.
Oh, Papa, Beloved, you have spoken truth,
To win each heart,
To live, is life's sweet youth. Oh, Papa, oh, Papa.

The world's a garden, you are branch to branch,
Blooming ever onward, onward, onward, your dance.
Your gaze is your vista,
Meet and move on, move on, move on.
Yet even then is joy, to sometimes pause,
Meeting, sometimes eyes may bow to life's laws.
Yet even then is joy, to sometimes pause,
Meeting, sometimes eyes may bow to life's laws.
To journey is life, what is in the standstill?
Oh, my love, what news do you bear?
Oh, Papa, Beloved, you have spoken truth,
To win each heart,
To live, is life's sweet youth. Oh, Papa, oh, Papa.

Foolish is sorrow, to fill the heart with pain,
To see, to imprison, to chain the heart again.
To bind the heart's thread, freedom's the call,
Flower and leaf, a chain, freedom for all.
You are moonlight, walk and spread, from soul to soul,
What joy in a lamp, to wander the whole?
Our heart is ours, and this our night,
Our own heart's tale, in fading light.
All yours, your heart, O friend, belongs to another.

To another, your heart, O friend.
Another? What a cruel end!
Your own grief, who can mend?
In others, you cannot be lost,
Nor in yourself, a final cost.
What life is it, that belongs to another?
Oh, my love, what news do you bear?
Oh, Papa, Beloved, you have spoken truth,
To win each heart,
To live, is life's sweet youth. Oh, Papa, oh, Papa.
