hoye hoye hoye hoye hoye dhup o balle dhup o balle
haddipa haddipa haddipa insano se kyu jalte ho
tum bi insaan ho hare bare ye khet hai mandir
jinke tum bagwan ho jindagi jindagi jindagi
choti ho ya lambi ho ho choti ho ya lambi ho
kyu bite takrar me kyu na gujre pyar me
jindagi jindagi jindagi jindgi
man ki khidki khol ke rakho
jaane pyar ka jokha kab aa jaye
nafrat ke sab deep bhujakar
preet ke phool khila jaye jindagi jindagi

kyu dariye pyar kariye
sone ke angaare lage hai dharti par
ho dharti par ha dharti par
khusiyo ke bazar saje hai dharti par
ho dharti par ha dharti par
mehnat ki taqdir hai dane dane me
aur insaan ki taqdir hai dane dane me
dharti de aur bete khaye
fir bhi maa ke ghun na gaaye
hawao ko kah do aakar insaano ko ye samjaye

kyu na sab mil jhul kar baithe
ek pedh ki chaya me ek pedh ki chaya me
ek pedh ki chaya me ek barabar hissa baate
ek duje ki maaya me ek duje ki maaya me
ek duje ki maaya me haste haste karlo pyare
gam aur khusiyo ki batware
preet teri salah de di sabnam ban jaye angare
o dil hi ganga dil hi jamuna
dil hai mathura dil hi kashi
dil ho saaf to har din holi
har raat hai purmaasi
jindagi jindagi jindagi jindgi
choti ho ya lambi ho choti ho ya lambi ho
kyu bite takrar me kyu na gujre pyar me
jindagi jindagi jindagi jindgi

Sun, oh sun, oh sun, oh blessed sun,
Why do you burn with human ache?
You are the human, the weary, the field, the temple,
Whose god you are, life, life, life.
Be it short or long, be it short or long,
Why dwell in strife, why not in love?
Life, life, life, life.

Open the window of your heart,
For love's gust may arrive unseen.
Extinguish every lamp of hate,
And let the flowers of love bloom.
Life, life.

Why fear, embrace love?
Golden embers upon the earth gleam,
On earth, yes, on earth.
Markets of joy adorn the earth,
On earth, yes, on earth.
Destiny's labour in every grain,
And human fate in every grain.
The earth gives, the son consumes,
Yet the mother's song never sings,
Tell the winds to whisper, let humans understand.

Why not sit together,
In the shade of a single tree,
In the shade of a single tree,
Sharing an equal portion,
In each other's illusion,
In each other's illusion,
Laughing, share, dear ones,
Sorrows and joys in equal measure.
Love gives counsel, may embers become dew,
Oh, the heart is Ganges, heart is Yamuna,
The heart is Mathura, heart is Kashi,
If the heart is pure, every day is Holi,
Every night is a full moon.
Life, life, life, life.
Be it short or long, be it short or long,
Why dwell in strife, why not in love?
Life, life, life, life.
