hum hai to jindagani me dam hai
baki to sala pani kam hai
pani ke bulbule se thode chulbule se
pani ke bulbule se thode chulbule se
hum hai to jindagani me dam hai
baki to sala pani kam hai

sab aasan hai agar mushkil me jaan hai
jhuti shaan hai ye sala dil beiman hai
sab aasan hai agar mushkil me jaan hai
jhuti shaan hai ye sala dil beiman hai
hum hai to jindagani me dam hai
baki to sala pani kam hai

ji chahe ji le jitna ji chahe pi le
kadva mitha bejati ka yuvan ke jee le
assi chutki nabbe tal aisi taisi mache baval
tute fute laat aur ghunse besharam ullu ke paththe
pani ke bulbule se thode chulbule se
pani ke bulbule se thode chulbule se
hum hai to jindagani me dam hai
baki to sala pani kam hai

Where we breathe, life finds its ember,
Else, the world's a shallow remember.
Like bubbles on water, fleeting and bold,
Like bubbles on water, a story untold,
Where we breathe, life finds its ember,
Else, the world's a shallow remember.

All is ease, if the heart knows its plight,
False the glory, the treacherous heart's light.
All is ease, if the heart knows its plight,
False the glory, the treacherous heart's light.
Where we breathe, life finds its ember,
Else, the world's a shallow remember.

Live, as you will, drink deep, if you dare,
Bitter, sweet, insults, the youth’s cruel snare.
Eighty pinches, ninety rhythms, chaos unfurls,
Broken, battered, kicks and fists, shameless fools,
Like bubbles on water, fleeting and bold,
Like bubbles on water, a story untold,
Where we breathe, life finds its ember,
Else, the world's a shallow remember.
