jawaan hai jahaan jhum uthi har nazar
mai hu ke hai zindagi zahar
mai hu ke hai zindagi zahar

nazar dhundhati hai na jaane kise
nazar dhundhati hai na jaane kise
ye aramaan bulaate hai jaane kise
ye aramaan bulaate hai jaane kise
huyi muddate suna-suna hai ghar
mai hu ke hai zindagi zahar
mai hu ke hai zindagi zahar

ho haay tere bewafaayi
ho haay tere bewafaayi
mujhe maut bhi na aayi
mujhe maut bhi na aayi
meri har duaa har sada be-asar
mai hu ke hai zindagi zahar
mai hu ke hai zindagi zahar

chalaayege aise zamaane ko ham
kiye jisne dil pe ye laakho sitam
kiye jisne dil pe ye laakho sitam
aankh se jitne aansu tapke ban gaye aaj sitaare
intazar me ab na jalenge do naina matawaare
rulaayenge aise zamaane ko ham
rulaayenge aise zamaane ko ham
kiye jisne dil pe ye laakho sitam
kiye jisne dil pe ye laakho sitam

The world awakes, a dance in every eye,
Is it I, or is life poison, I cry?
Is it I, or is life poison?
The gaze seeks, though of what it's unsure,
The gaze seeks, though of what it's unsure,
Desires call, beckoning whom to endure,
Desires call, beckoning whom to endure,
A home of silence, for years it's been, sir,
Is it I, or is life poison, I murmur?
Is it I, or is life poison?

Oh, your faithless ways,
Oh, your faithless ways,
Even death delays,
Even death delays,
Each prayer, each plea, falls unheard,
Is it I, or is life poison, I've heard?
Is it I, or is life poison?

We shall reshape this world of pain,
The one that etched such wounds on the brain,
The one that etched such wounds on the brain,
From eyes that wept, stars now gleam,
In waiting, no longer the heart will teem,
We shall reshape this world of pain,
We shall reshape this world of pain,
The one that etched such wounds on the brain,
The one that etched such wounds on the brain.
