kehanewale kehanewale kahe mayajal hai
phir bhi duniya bahot hi kamal hai

They say it's all illusion, a woven snare,
But brother, play your tune, let the rhythm flare.
They crave the Anglo-Indian tie, the polished grace.

They say it's all illusion, a shimmering maze,
Yet the world, oh, it's a wonder, a dazzling phase.
They say it's all illusion, a fleeting show,
Yet the world, oh, it's a marvel, watch the colours flow.
A marvel it is.
They say it's all illusion, a whispered plea,
Yet the world, oh, it's a wonder, wild and free.

For the wealthy, this world, a sweet embrace,
The realm of the rich, in time and space.
May God bless their fortune, their gilded domain.
For the wealthy, this world, a sweet refrain,
The kingdom of the affluent, sunshine and rain.
If your pockets jingle, the world's a bright song,
But empty of coin, it's a sorrowful throng.
Behold, witness my plight, this burden I bear,
Yet the world, oh, it's a wonder, a joy to share.
A marvel it is.
They say it's all illusion, a haunting decree,
Yet the world, oh, it's a wonder, meant to be.

When you laugh, it will make you weep so deep,
How much it consumes, secrets to keep.
When you laugh, it will make you weep, a cruel tide,
How much it consumes, where shadows hide.
It shames the drinker, casts blame and doubt,
Yet pours the elixir, inside and out.
It walks straight, then curves,
A dance of deceit, the changing art.
Yet the world, oh, it's a wonder, a work of the heart.
A marvel it is, my brother.
They say it's all illusion, a fading trace,
Yet the world, oh, it's a wonder, time cannot erase.
A marvel it is, my brother.

Remembered or scorned, by the wayside trod,
Or lifted on high, hailed as a god,
What difference does it make, my friends,
The world is but four days,
This lesson’s been spoken, time and again
Yet the world, oh, it's a wonder, a song to be sung.
A marvel it is.
They say it's all illusion, a whisper, a sigh,
Yet the world, oh, it's a wonder, beneath the sky.
