hasi jalti huyi shamaye hai inke pass mat aana
jo aaoge to jal jaoge dekho hala parwana
haye mohabbat wo kare inse
mohabbat wo kare inse
ke jiski shamat aayi hai
ke jiski shamat aayi hai, ke jiski shamat aayi hai
ke jiski shamat aayi hai, ke jiski shamat aayi hai
agar ye muskura de haye agar ye muskura de
to samajh lo maut aayi hai
aa agar ye muskura de haye agar ye muskura de
to samajh lo maut aayi hai

hum shagird hai farhad ke majnu ke chele hai
ye husn o ishq ke papad hazaaro baar bele hai
haye magar wo gham uthaye hai
magar wo gham uthaye hai ke nani yaad aayi hai
ke nani yaad aayi hai
ke nani nani nani nani nani yaad aayi hai
agar ye muskura de haye agar ye muskura de
to samajh lo maut aayi hai
aa agar ye muskura de haye agar ye muskura de
to samajh lo maut aayi hai

aa hoye ulajhna inki julfo se
hai kaanto me ulajh jana samjhe
phir aakar unki lakdi bana dete hai diwana
haye ye pagal khano ki duniya
ye pagal khano ki duniya
inhone ne hi batayi hai
inhone ne hi batayi hai, inhone ne hi batayi hai
inhone ne hi batayi hai, inhone ne hi batayi hai
agar ye muskura de haye agar ye muskura de
to samajh lo maut aayi hai
hasino ki wafa me bhi chhupi ek bewafayi hai
agar ye muskura de haye agar ye muskura de
to samajh lo maut aayi hai
agar ye muskura de haye agar ye muskura de
to samajh lo maut aayi hai

They are burning lamps, do not come near,
Lest you be consumed, like the moth's fear.
Oh, those who dare to love them,
Love them,
Their doom is near,
Their doom is drawing nigh,
Their doom is closing in, their doom.
If they but smile, ah, if they but smile,
Then know that death is nigh.
If they but smile, ah, if they but smile,
Then know that death is nigh.

We are students of Farhad, Majnun's kin,
We have rolled the papad of beauty and love, again and again.
Oh, the sorrows they bestow,
The sorrows they bestow, that make us wail,
That make us weep, make us wail.
That make us weep, make us wail, make us weep.
If they but smile, ah, if they but smile,
Then know that death is nigh.
If they but smile, ah, if they but smile,
Then know that death is nigh.

To tangle in their tresses,
Is to be caught in thorns, understand,
Then to be made a madman at their command.
Oh, this world of lunatic asylums,
This world of lunatic asylums,
They are the ones who made it,
They are the ones who made it, they are the ones who made it.
They are the ones who made it, they are the ones who made it.
If they but smile, ah, if they but smile,
Then know that death is nigh.
Even in the beauty’s vow, lies a betrayal's sting,
If they but smile, ah, if they but smile,
Then know that death is nigh.
If they but smile, ah, if they but smile,
Then know that death is nigh.
