duniya ek mela hai
duniya ek mela hai
is mele mein ghum rahe hai
log badlake chehare
sabke man mein chor chhupa hai
sab hai katil lootere
yar mere ek tu hi nahi
badnaam akela hai
duniya ek mela hai

sahma sahma kyun dukh ke bojh se
jeevan wo hai kat jaaye jo mauj se
sahma sahma kyun dukh ke bojh se
jeevan wo hai kat jaaye jo mauj se
bujh gaye agar diye
tu jala le naye jhoom ke
o duniya ek mela hai

kitna bhatka kaanto ke tu gaon mein
baitha pal bhar tu na sukh ki chhanv mein
kitna bhatka kaanto ke tu gaon mein
baitha pal bhar tu na sukh ki chhanv mein
chal rahi hai dagar dekhta hai kidhar ghum ke
duniya ek mela hai

The world, a carnival's bright array,
A vibrant fair where shadows play.
Masks they wear, their faces shift,
Secrets held, a hidden rift.
Each heart a thief, a robber's guise,
My friend, you're not the only one,
Alone, you bear the setting sun.
The world, a carnival's expanse.

Why cower 'neath sorrow's heavy load?
Life's a dance, along the road.
Why cower 'neath sorrow's heavy load?
Life's a dance, along the road.
If lamps go out in darkest night,
Ignite new joy, a burning light.
Oh, the world, a carnival's bright array.

Through thorns you strayed, your spirit torn,
No rest you found, since you were born.
Through thorns you strayed, your spirit torn,
No rest you found, since you were born.
The path unfolds, where do you roam?
Turning around, where is your home?
The world, a carnival's bright array.
