duniya mujhse kahati hai, ki pina chhod de
pina chhod de
duniya mujhse kahati hai, ki pina chhod de
yeh kyun nahi kahati jalim, jina chhod de
jina chhod de, jina chhod de, jina chhod de
kya samajhe yeh duniya, kya jane yeh duniya
kya samajhe yeh duniya, kya jane yeh duniya

kitana mushkil hai, yeh jindagi kaa safar
kitana mushkil hai, yeh jindagi kaa safar
maut aankhe dikhati hai har mod par
gam se ghabarakar mai jo sharab naa piyu
gam se ghabarakar mai jo sharab naa piyu
to kah do mere dosto mai kaise jiyu
duniya mujhse kahati hai, ki pina chhod de
pina chhod de
yeh kyun nahi kahati jalim, jina chhod de
jina chhod de, jina chhod de, jina chhod de
kya samajhe yeh duniya, kya jane yeh duniya
kya samajhe yeh duniya, kya jane yeh duniya

The world implores me, "Cease to drink," they say,
"Release the hold," they plead, day after day.
The world implores me, "Cease to drink," they cry,
Why not command, "Cruel world, just cease to live, die"?
Just cease to live, just cease to live, and die,
What understands this world, what does it know?
What understands this world, what does it know?

How treacherous this journey called life, you see,
How treacherous this journey, for you and me.
At every turn, death's shadow does appear,
If grief I shun, and liquor hold so dear,
If grief I shun, and solace I deny,
Then tell me, friends, how else am I to sigh?
The world implores me, "Cease to drink," they say,
"Release the hold," they plead, day after day.
Why not command, "Cruel world, just cease to live, die"?
Just cease to live, just cease to live, and die,
What understands this world, what does it know?
What understands this world, what does it know?
