kitni jawa hai jindagi, kitni jawa bahar
aise me koi aaye kahi se karle humse pyar
kitni jawa hai jindagi, kitni jawa bahar
aise me koi aaye kahi se karle humse pyar

chahato ke ye jamane aarzuo ke ye din
chahato ke ye jamane aarzuo ke ye din
kah rahe hai dhadakne dil ki akele to na gin
is bari mahfil me ho koi tera bhi raaj daar
kitni jawa hai jindagi, kitni jawa bahar
aise me koi aaye kahi se karle humse pyar

hasrate bhi hai gulabi aur ummide bhi hasi
hasrate bhi hai gulabi aur ummide bhi hasi
sath lekin khubsurat ek sathi hi nahi
ek humdham ke liye hai dil mera bekarar
kitni jawa hai jindagi, kitni jawa bahar
aise me koi aaye kahi se karle humse pyar

julf ka saya na ho to is safar ka kya maza
julf ka saya na ho to is safar ka kya maza
bhej de kabhi kahi se a mohabbat ke khuda
jiski bato me nasha ho aankho me ho khumar
kitni jawa hai jindagi, kitni jawa bahar
aise me koi aaye kahi se karle humse pyar
kitni jawa hai jindagi, kitni jawa bahar
aise me koi aaye kahi se karle humse pyar

How young is life, how young the world outside,
In such a dawn, may love from somewhere glide.
How young is life, how young the world outside,
In such a dawn, may love from somewhere glide.

In eras of desire, in days of wishful plea,
In eras of desire, in days of wishful plea,
The heart's own beats whisper, "Alone, you cannot be."
Within this crowded hall, may one your secrets share,
How young is life, how young the world outside,
In such a dawn, may love from somewhere glide.

Desires bloom in blush, and hope wears a smiling grace,
Desires bloom in blush, and hope wears a smiling grace,
Yet beauty seeks a comrade, a comforting embrace.
For one companion true, my restless spirit sighs,
How young is life, how young the world outside,
In such a dawn, may love from somewhere glide.

Without the shadow of tresses, what joy in journeys made?
Without the shadow of tresses, what joy in journeys made?
From somewhere send, O Love, a God to my cascade,
Whose words are heady wine, whose eyes hold mystic fire.
How young is life, how young the world outside,
In such a dawn, may love from somewhere glide.
How young is life, how young the world outside,
In such a dawn, may love from somewhere glide.
