ye duniya fani hai ho aani jani hai
mehrbani kar o dilruba
mehrbani kar o dilruba

ye mana andhi hoti hai jiwani
magar che din ki hai jidgani
kiye ja sabka bala kisi ka dil na dukha
ke nahi kal ka pata o dilruba
ye duniya fani hai ho aani jani hai
mehrbani kar o dilruba
mehrbani kar o dilruba

dil kahe to mila lu nigahe
par musfir ki roko na rahe
kiye ja sabka balka kisi ka dil na dukha
ke nahi kal pata o dilruba
ye duniya fani hai ho aani jani hai
mehrbani kar o dilruba
mehrbani kar o dilruba

hamse ulfat nahi hai hai to chodo
par hasino ka dil to na todo
kiye ja sabka bhala
ke nahi kal pata o dilruba
ke nahi kal pata o dilruba
ye duniya fani hai ho aani jani hai
mehrbani kar o dilruba
mehrbani kar o dilruba

This world, a fleeting dream, a coming, going stream,
Show mercy, oh beloved, show mercy.

Youth's blindness, we concede, a transient creed,
Yet life's a six-day journey, a whispered plea.
Do good to all, let no heart bleed,
For tomorrow's veil, we cannot see, oh beloved.
This world, a fleeting dream, a coming, going stream,
Show mercy, oh beloved, show mercy.

The heart may yearn, a meeting of the gaze,
But block not the traveler's onward ways.
Do good to all, let no heart bleed,
For tomorrow's veil, we cannot see, oh beloved.
This world, a fleeting dream, a coming, going stream,
Show mercy, oh beloved, show mercy.

If love with us is not, then let it be, depart,
But break not the hearts of beauty's art.
Do good to all,
For tomorrow's veil, we cannot see, oh beloved.
For tomorrow's veil, we cannot see, oh beloved.
This world, a fleeting dream, a coming, going stream,
Show mercy, oh beloved, show mercy.
