ye kya kya dikhati hai ye zindagi
ye kya kya dikhati hai ye zindagi
hasne bhi na de rone bhi na de
haye hamse to rutha hamara nasiba
haye hamse to rutha hamara nasiba
hum apne hi ghar se nikale gaye
ha nikale gaye
ye kya kya dikhati hai ye zindagi

khudgarzi dekho kaha tak girati hai
har mod pe naya rup rachati hai
khudgarzi dekho kaha tak girati hai
har mod pe naya rup rachati hai
yaha paiso ke piche bhage hai log
yaha duniya me shan aur sohrat ka lobh
yaha duniya me shan aur sohrat ka lobh
yaha jhuthi hai shan yaha jhutha dikhava
khud apne aap ko dhokha dete hai log
aise hai log

majburi dekho kis mod pe laye
ye din kabhi dushmano pe na aaye
majburi dekho kis mod pe laye
ye din kabhi dushmano pe na aaye
yaha gairo se badtar dekhe hai log
yaha bikti wafaye bikte hai log
yaha bikti wafaye bikte hai log
ye duniya hai natak pyar hai khel tamasha
ye duniya hai natak pyar hai khel tamasha
ise jaisa bhi chahe nachate hai log
nachate hai log

ye kya kya dikhati hai ye zindagi
ye kya kya dikhati hai ye zindagi
hasne bhi na de rone bhi na de
haye hamse to rutha hamara nasiba
haye hamse to rutha hamara nasiba
hum apne hi ghar se nikale gaye ha nikale gaye
ye kya kya dikhati hai ye zindagi

What a spectacle, this life unfolds,
What a spectacle, this life unfurls.
It grants no laughter, nor a tear to fall,
Alas, our fate, it turns away, standing tall.
From our own home, we're cast adrift,
Yes, cast adrift.
What a spectacle, this life unfurls.

See how low, this world descends,
At every turn, a guise it lends.
For money, they relentlessly chase,
For glory and fame in this desolate space.
In this world of pretense, a hollow facade,
Deceiving themselves, a heavy load.
Such are the ways of humankind.

Behold the plight, the depths it brings,
May such days never touch even foes' wings.
Worse than strangers, the souls we find,
Where loyalty is sold, and souls are entwined.
This world, a stage, love a fleeting play,
This world, a stage, love a fleeting play,
And humans dance as they are made to sway.
They sway.

What a spectacle, this life unfolds,
What a spectacle, this life unfurls.
It grants no laughter, nor a tear to fall,
Alas, our fate, it turns away, standing tall.
From our own home, we're cast adrift,
Yes, cast adrift.
What a spectacle, this life unfurls.
