is duniya mein ai dilavaalon
dil ka lagaana khel nahi
ulfat karana khel hai
lekin kar ke nibhaana khel nahi

jabse hue hain door vo hamse
dhundh rahi hai unko nazar
dhundh rahi hai unko nazar
haay re o bedard zamaane
haay re o bedard zamaane
ye bhi nahi hai unko kabar
aag lagi hai dil mein kuch aisi
jisaka bujhaana khel nahi
is duniya mein

laakha sataayen pyaar ke dushman
bhul sakenge unko na ham
bhul sakenge unko na ham
aur badhegi unki mohabbat
aur badhegi unki mohabbat
jitane bhi honge zulm-o-sitam
kaha de koi naadaanon se
hamako mitaana khel nahi
is duniya mein

In this world, O hearts so true,
To give the heart is not a game,
To love, a dance we gladly do,
But keeping faith, the hardest flame.

Since they have walked a path apart,
My gaze still seeks their absent face,
My gaze still seeks their absent face.
O cruel world, where sorrows start,
O cruel world, with heartless pace,
They know not of this burning space.
A fire within, it fiercely burns,
And quenching it, a hope in vain,
In this world.

Though love's foes torment and tease,
Their memory, we cannot erase,
Their memory, we cannot erase.
Their love will only further please,
Their love will only find its place,
The more the cruelties we embrace.
Tell the foolish, they can’t erase us,
To vanquish us, a futile strain,
In this world.
