jindagi fasana hai beraham jamana hai
muskurana aadami ka rone ka bahana hai
jindagi fasana hai beraham jamana hai
bade chalo bade chalo bade chalo bade chalo

ro rahi hai ye jamin chup khada hai aasman
is jahan me lut gaya jindagi ka karvan
has raha hai bagbaan ke jal raha aashiyana hai
jindagi fasana hai beraham jamana hai
muskurana aadami ka rone ka bahana hai
jindagi fasana hai beraham jamana hai
bade chalo bade chalo

naam jiska hai bahar wo fida ka rang hai
jindagi fareb hai har khushi umang hai
har khushi ki ragini me gham bara tarana hai
bade chalo bade chalo

keh rahi hu alvida apne dil ko tham ke
mil gaye nasib se ashk subah sham ke
har kadam pe motiya ka lut raha khajana hai
jindagi fasana hai beraham jamana hai
muskurana aadami ka rone ka bahana hai
jindagi fasana hai beraham jamana hai
bade chalo bade chalo bade chalo bade chalo
alvida alvida alvida alvida
alvida alvida

Life, a fleeting tale in a world so cold,
A smile, the mask the weeping soul has sold.
Life, a fleeting tale in a world so cold,
March onward, onward, ever bold.

The earth is hushed, the heavens stand and gaze,
In this vast realm, life's caravan decays.
The gardener laughs as his home burns down in flame,
Life, a fleeting tale in a world so cold,
A smile, the mask the weeping soul has sold.
Life, a fleeting tale in a world so cold,
March onward, onward, ever bold.

That which is Spring, a shade of sacrifice,
Life, a deception, joy a fleeting price.
In every joy, a song of sorrow's strain,
March onward, onward.

I bid farewell, my heart within my hand,
Tears of morning, evening, I now command.
At every step, a treasure turns to dust,
Life, a fleeting tale in a world so cold,
A smile, the mask the weeping soul has sold.
Life, a fleeting tale in a world so cold,
March onward, onward, ever bold,
Farewell, farewell, farewell, farewell.
Farewell, farewell.
