dukh sukh tha ek sabka
apna ho ya begaana
ek wo bhi tha zamana
ek ye bhi hain zamana
dukh sukh tha ek sabka
apna ho ya begaana
ek wo bhi tha zamana
ek ye bhi hain zamana

dada hayaat the jab mitti ka ek ghar tha
choro ka koi khatka na dakuo ka dar tha
khate the rukhi sukhi sote the neend gahri
shaame bhari bhari thi aabad thi dopahri
santosh tha dilon ko maathe pe bal nahi tha
dil mein kapat nahi tha aankhon mein chaal nahi tha
the log bhole bhale lekin the pyar wale
duniya se kitni jaldi sab ho gaye ravana
dukh sukh tha ek sabka
apna ho ya begaana
ek wo bhi tha zamana
ek ye bhi hain zamana

abakha ka waqt aaya taalim ghar mein aayi
abakha ka waqt aaya taalim ghar mein aayi
taalim sath apni taaza vichar laayi
aage rawayato se badhne ka dhyan aaya
mitti ka ghar hata to pakka makaan aaya
daftar ki naukri thi tankhwah ka sahara
maalik pe tha bharosa ho jata tha gujara
paisa agar ch kam tha phir bhi na koi gam tha
kaisa bhara pura tha apna gareeb khana
dukh sukh tha ek sabka
apna ho ya begaana
ek wo bhi tha zamana
ek ye bhi hain zamana

ab mera daur hain ye koi nahi kisi ka
ab mera daur hain ye koi nahi kisi ka
har aadmi akela har chehra ajnabi sa
aansu na muskurahat jeevan ka haal aisa
apni khabar nahi hain maya ka jaal aisa
paisa hain martaba hain ijjat vi kor bhi hain
naukar hain aur chakar bangla hain car bhi hain
jar paas hain jami hain lekin sukoon nahi hai
paane ke waste kuch kya kya pada gawana
dukh sukh tha ek sabka
apna ho ya begaana
ek wo bhi tha zamana
ek ye bhi hain zamana

ae aane wali naslo ae aane wale logon
ae aane wali naslo ae aane wale logon
bhoga hain humne jo kuch wo tum kabhi na bhogo
jo dukh tha sath apne tum se kareeb na ho
peeda jo humne jheli tumko naseeb na ho
jis tarah bheed mein hum jinda rahe akele
wo jindagi ki mehfil tumse na koi lele
tum jis taraf se gujro mela ho roshni ka
raas aaye tumko mausam ikkisvi sadi ka
hum to sukoon ko tarse tum par sukoon barse
anand ho dilon mein jeevan lage suhana
dukh sukh tha ek sabka
apna ho ya begaana
ek wo bhi tha zamana
ek ye bhi hain zamana

dukh sukh tha ek sabka
apna ho ya begaana
ek wo bhi tha zamana
ek ye bhi hain zamana
ek wo bhi tha zamana
ek ye bhi hain zamana
ek wo bhi tha zamana
ek ye bhi hain zamana

Sorrow and joy, one for all,
Be it kin or stranger's call,
That time was, now this time we face,
Sorrow and joy in life's embrace.
That time was, now this time we face.

When Grandfather lived, a mud-built home,
No fear of thieves, no reason to roam,
They ate dry bread, slept soundly deep,
Evenings were full, afternoons to keep.
Contentment filled hearts, no frowns to trace,
No deceit in hearts, no lies in face,
People were simple, yet love's bright flame,
How quickly they left, the world's passing game.
Sorrow and joy, one for all,
Be it kin or stranger's call,
That time was, now this time we face,
Sorrow and joy in life's embrace.

Then the time of schools, of learning's light,
New thoughts arose, dispelling night,
To move beyond, from old ways to grow,
The mud home gone, a solid house to know,
Office jobs, salaries to keep,
Trust in the boss, promises to reap,
Though money was less, no sorrow to find,
How full was our home, our poor, humble kind.
Sorrow and joy, one for all,
Be it kin or stranger's call,
That time was, now this time we face,
Sorrow and joy in life's embrace.

Now is my time, no one truly near,
Each man alone, each face filled with fear,
No tears, no smiles, such is life's way,
Lost in ourselves, in Maya's sway,
Money, status, respect, and more,
Servants, followers, houses, and car's door,
Wealth is at hand, land at our feet,
But peace is lost, what to forfeit, to meet?
Sorrow and joy, one for all,
Be it kin or stranger's call,
That time was, now this time we face,
Sorrow and joy in life's embrace.

O coming generations, those yet to be,
O coming generations, those yet to be,
May you never suffer what we have seen,
May the sorrows we knew, never be your keen,
The pain we endured, may you never know,
The way we lived alone, in a crowded show,
May that life's party, never be yours to take,
May the path you tread, a festival make,
May the seasons of the twenty-first century, charm your soul,
We thirsted for peace, may it you enroll,
Joy in your hearts, may life be so sweet,
Sorrow and joy, one for all,
Be it kin or stranger's call,
That time was, now this time we face,
Sorrow and joy in life's embrace.

Sorrow and joy, one for all,
Be it kin or stranger's call,
That time was, now this time we face,
Sorrow and joy in life's embrace.
That time was, now this time we face,
That time was, now this time we face,
That time was, now this time we face,
That time was, now this time we face.
