koi atka hua hai pal shayad
waqt me pad gaya hai bal shayad
dil agar hai to dard bhi hoga
iska koi nahi hai hal shayad

bujh gaye tare o yara
aasaman kala lage re
kuch bhi nazar na aave
ankhiyo me jaala lage re
dilwali naukri ne mara
o yara, dilwali naukri ne mara
meetha lage ab bhi wo yaro
dardo ki tokri utaro
dilwali naukri ne mara
o yara, dilwali naukri ne mara
sweeta o sweeta
tere bin koyalo se kaale kaale hue din
tere bin, tere bin, tere bin
o zindagi uljha hua sauda hai
umre leta hai ik pal de kar
main bawra, bawra, main bawra
o zindagi uljha hua sauda hai
umre leta hai ik pal de kar
main bawra, bawra, main bawra

ho marne se mujhe koi dar to nahi
ha tere bin mushkil hogi
jeena bhi pade to bhi mujhko
ha tere bin mushkil hogi
seene me ishq ka ik bujha sa deeya
main to leke chala
zindagi uljha hua sauda hai
umre leta hai ik pal de kar
main bawra, bawra, main bawra

sham hai to sham sahi raat na hone dena
aas ki sans chalti rahe maat na hone dena
jin aankho me neend nahi hai
unn aankho me khwab tha koi
khwab wo, khwab tum khone na dena
bawra, bawra, bawra
zindagi uljha hua sauda hai
umre leta hai ik pal de kar
main bawra, bawra, main bawra
zindagi uljha hua sauda hai
umre leta hai ik pal de kar
dil bawra, bawra, dil bawra

A moment trapped, perhaps,
A force has bent time, perhaps.
If a heart beats, pain will too,
No solace in sight, perhaps.

Stars have dimmed, O friend,
The sky seems a canvas of night.
Nothing is seen,
A veil of shadows in sight.
The heart's employment has slain me,
O friend, the heart's employment has slain me.
Sweet it tastes even now, my friends,
Unload this basket of sorrows.
The heart's employment has slain me,
O friend, the heart's employment has slain me.
Sweeta, O Sweeta,
Without you, days have turned black as coal,
Without you, without you, without you.
O life, a tangled bargain,
Takes an age, gives a moment,
I am mad, mad, I am mad.
O life, a tangled bargain,
Takes an age, gives a moment,
I am mad, mad, I am mad.

No fear of death resides in me,
Yet without you, it would be difficult.
If I must live, even then,
Without you, it would be difficult.
In my chest, a dying lamp of love,
I carry it onward.
Life, a tangled bargain,
Takes an age, gives a moment,
I am mad, mad, I am mad.

If it is evening, let it be evening, do not let night descend.
Let the breath of hope continue, do not let it fail.
In eyes that know no sleep,
Once resided a dream.
That dream, that dream, do not let it be lost.
Mad, mad, mad.
Life, a tangled bargain,
Takes an age, gives a moment,
I am mad, mad, I am mad.
Life, a tangled bargain,
Takes an age, gives a moment,
The heart is mad, mad, the heart is mad.
