nache umang jhoome tarang
aankhon me rang jhalke
chedde bhar dil ka sitar rag rag ke pyar jhalke
mehfil rangin hai ha duniya haseen hai ho
wade kar lu mohhabat ke
pal bhar me yaha lakh taba hoye
kaun kaha jane mehfil rangin hai ha
mehfil rangin hai duniya haseen hai

zulfo ke chhao me ulfat me gao me
zulfo ke chhao me ulfat me gao me
dam lelo ae dil walo sab lelu ae dil walo
mauka ye haseen hai mehfil rangin hai ha
mehfil rangin hai duniya haseen hai

sanso ka karva thahre jane kaha
sanso ka karva thahre jane kaha
aaj tu hans le rahi aaj tu hans le rahi
kal ka kya yakeen hai mehfil rangin hai ha
mehfil rangin hai duniya haseen hai

duniya ke umar ka chahat ka le maza
duniya ke umar ka chahat ka le maza
dard hai mitha mitha dard hai mitha mitha
aankho se namkin hai mehfil rangin hai ha
duniya haseen hai ho wade karlu mohhabat ke
pal bhar me yaha lakh taba hoye
kaun kaha jane mehfil rangin hai ha
mehfil rangin hai duniya haseen hai

Dances a surge, sways a wave,
Colors ignite in eyes.
A heart's sitar plucked, a spring's touch,
Love's music, a thousand sighs.
The gathering's vibrant, ah, the world, so fair,
Let me make vows of love.
In a moment, a hundred thousand fade,
Who knows where? The gathering's vibrant, ah,
The gathering's vibrant, the world, so fair.

In tresses' shade, in love's embrace,
In tresses' shade, in love's embrace,
Let me breathe, O hearts, all, let me take, O hearts.
This moment's fair, the gathering's vibrant, ah,
The gathering's vibrant, the world, so fair.

Where will breath's caravan rest?
Where will breath's caravan rest?
Laugh now, traveler, laugh now, traveler,
Tomorrow's unknown, the gathering's vibrant, ah,
The gathering's vibrant, the world, so fair.

Taste the world's age, and love's delight,
Taste the world's age, and love's delight,
Pain is sweet, so sweet,
Salty tears from eyes, the gathering's vibrant, ah,
The world, so fair, let me make vows of love.
In a moment, a hundred thousand fade,
Who knows where? The gathering's vibrant, ah,
The gathering's vibrant, the world, so fair.
