dil ka tarana gaa le
soch na kar matwale
dil ka tarana gaa le
soch na kar matwale
ye zindgani ye naujawani
ye shadmani phir kaha, phir kaha, phir kaha

sare jhandum sari baheshti jhuthe bahane hai
pahlu ki jannat jinda haqiqat
baki fasane hai
ye zindgani ye naujawani
ye shadmani phir kaha, phir kaha, phir kaha

ye mast raate jhume barati jake na aayengi
in mehfilo ki in dilbaro yaade satayengi
ye zindgani ye naujawani
ye shadmani phir kaha, phir kaha, phir kaha

sar pe achal hai marna atal hai
marne se pahle jee
lahra ke, gaa ke duniya pe chha ke
masti ke sahur pee
ye jindgani ye naujawani
ye shadmani phir kaha, phir kaha, phir kaha
hoye dil ka tarana gaa le
soch na kar matwale
ye zindgani ye naujawani
ye shadmani phir kaha, phir kaha, phir kaha

Sing the heart's own song,
O, dreamer, sing along,
Sing the heart's own song,
Don't delay, be strong.
This life, this youthful grace,
This joy, in time and space,
Where, oh where, will this be?

All heavens, all paradises, false facades they be,
The paradise within, a living reality,
The rest, mere stories we see.
This life, this youthful grace,
This joy, in time and space,
Where, oh where, will this be?

These nights of revelry, the wedding guests depart,
Never to return, a bittersweet art,
Memories of these gatherings, of beloveds, tear apart.
This life, this youthful grace,
This joy, in time and space,
Where, oh where, will this be?

Death's shadow falls, it is our final call,
Before the final sleep, embrace it all,
Sway and sing, upon the world enthrall,
Drink deep the cups of ecstasy and fall.
This life, this youthful grace,
This joy, in time and space,
Where, oh where, will this be?

Sing the heart's own song,
O, dreamer, sing along,
This life, this youthful grace,
This joy, in time and space,
Where, oh where, will this be?
