o babu jara dekhta ja o babu jara dekhta ja
ye jag ke najare jara dekhta ja
o babu jara dekhta ja

hansti hansati hasino ki toli
hansti hansati hasino ki toli
rakhu piya ko kanhiya ki holi
o dil ye pukare jara dekhta ja
o babu jara dekhta ja
ye jag ke najare jara dekhta ja
o babu jara dekhta ja

jeevan me gam aur khushi ke jhamele
jeevan me gam aur khushi ke jhamele
taro ki mahfil me aashu ke mele
ye jalate sitare jara dekhta ja
o babu jara dekhta ja o babu jara dekhta ja
ye jag ke najare jara dekhta ja
o babu jara dekhta ja

ae bekhabar ye duniya hai duniya
ae bekhabar ye duniya hai duniya
jadugaro ne dala hai fanda
jo bhule vohi hare jara dekhta ja
o babu jara dekhta ja o babu jara dekhta ja
ye jag ke najare jara dekhta ja
o babu jara dekhta ja

tere lahu ki ye duniya pyasi
tere lahu ki ye duniya pyasi
palko pe chayi hai udasi
o jara najare utha jara dekhrta ja
o babu jara dekhta ja o babu jara dekhta ja
ye jag ke najare jara dekhta ja
o babu jara dekhta ja

Oh, friend, observe, observe,
these sights of the world, observe.
Oh, friend, observe.

A laughter of beauties, a laughing spree,
a throng of them, wild and free,
I paint my love with Krishna's Holi,
my heart calls out, observe.
Oh, friend, observe,
these sights of the world, observe.
Oh, friend, observe.

In life, a tangle of sorrow and glee,
in the starry gathering, tears we see,
these burning stars, observe.
Oh, friend, observe, observe,
these sights of the world, observe.
Oh, friend, observe.

O heedless one, this world is the world,
magicians cast their spell, unfurled,
those who forget, they are lost, observe.
Oh, friend, observe, observe,
these sights of the world, observe.
Oh, friend, observe.

This world, it thirsts for your life's blood,
sadness upon your eyelids has stood,
oh, lift your gaze, and observe.
Oh, friend, observe, observe,
these sights of the world, observe.
Oh, friend, observe.
