jeeta hai ke marta hai koi
tune na jaana tune na jaana
ae bhulne waale ae bhulne waale
tujhe hansta hai zamana
ae bhulne waale
tujhe hansta hai zamana
tujhe hansta hai zamana

ek bekasur majbur ka
jalta hai makaan bhi uthata hai ae dhuaan bhi
dekhoge to hans doge dekhoge to hans doge
ke manzar hai suhana dekhoge to hans doge
ke manzar hai suhana ha manzar hai suhana

nadan hain jo gairo ko
samajh lete hai hai apna aisa na kisi ka
le naam-e-wafa jhuth le naam-e-wafa jhuth
hai ulfat ka bahana le naam-e-wafa jhuth
hai ulfat ka bahana ha ulfat hai bahana
ae bhulne waale ae bhulne waale tujhe
hansta hai zamana ae bhulne waale tujhe
hansta hai zamana tujhe hansta hai zamana

Does one live, or do they die?
You've not known, you've not known.
O, forgetful one, O, forgetful one,
The world laughs at you.
O, forgetful one,
The world laughs at you.
The world laughs at you.

A helpless, hapless soul,
Whose house burns, smoke ascends.
You'll laugh if you look, you'll laugh if you look,
At the glorious scene.
You'll laugh if you look,
At the glorious scene.
Yes, a glorious scene.

Fools who embrace strangers,
Thinking them their own.
Never has one taken,
The name of loyalty, a lie.
The name of loyalty, a lie.
It's just love's pretense.
The name of loyalty, a lie.
It's just love's pretense.
Yes, love is a pretense.
O, forgetful one, O, forgetful one,
The world laughs at you.
O, forgetful one,
The world laughs at you.
The world laughs at you.
