kaise jeet lete hai log dil kisi ka
kaise jeet lete hai log dil kisi ka
kaise jeet lete hai log dil kisi ka
koi to sikha de hame pyar ka salika
kaise jeet lete hai log dil kisi ka

koi mahbuba hamko chahe
pyar ke wade kar ke nibhaye
ankho me ye khwab liye hum
sare jaha me bhatka kiye hum
haye re dil ki kamnasibi
humko dil mila na kisi rup ki kali ka
kaise jeet lete hai log dil kisi ka
kaise jeet lete hai log dil kisi ka
koi to sikha de hame pyar ka salika
kaise jeet lete hai log dil kisi ka

hamne na dekha julfo ka sawan
hamne na thama kisi ka daman
leke chale koi hamko waha par
rahte hai dildar jaha par
haye re dil ki kamnasibi
humko na mila pata dildar ki gali ka
kaise jeet lete hai log dil kisi ka
kaise jeet lete hai log dil kisi ka
koi to sikha de hame pyar ka salika
kaise jeet lete hai log dil kisi ka

How do they win, the hearts of all?
How do they win, the hearts that fall?
How do they win, the hearts that yearn?
Teach us the ways, the lessons to learn,
How do they win, the hearts that burn?

A beloved to cherish and hold,
Promises whispered, stories told,
Dreams in our eyes, a hopeful gleam,
We wandered the world, it would seem.
Alas, our heart, in fate's cruel design,
Found no blossom, no love to entwine.
How do they win, the hearts of all?
How do they win, the hearts that fall?
Teach us the ways, the lessons to learn,
How do they win, the hearts that burn?

Never we saw the tresses' rain,
Never a hand to ease our pain,
Take us to where lovers reside,
Where hearts are open, side by side,
Alas, our heart, in fate's cruel design,
The street of the beloved, we can't find.
How do they win, the hearts of all?
How do they win, the hearts that fall?
Teach us the ways, the lessons to learn,
How do they win, the hearts that burn?
