aansu na bahana, ab aansu na bahana
kaanto bhari ye raah se hai, muskurate jana
aansu na bahana, ab aansu na bahana
kaanto bhari ye raah se hai, muskurate jana

mast pawan is phulwari me, kayi kali khilati hai
mast pawan is phulwari me, kayi kali khilati hai
usi chaman me rain andhere
shabnam neer bahati hai
usi chaman me rain andhere
shabnam neer bahati hai
tum rahte ho is jag me
bas hasna aur hasana
kaanto bhari ye raah se hai, muskurate jana
aansu na bahana, ab aansu na bahana
kaanto bhari ye raah se hai, muskurate jana

sukh me to hansti hai duniya, sabka yahi hal hai
sukh me to hansti hai duniya, sabka yahi hal hai
lekin dukh utha kar koi, hanse to phir ye kamal hai
lekin dukh utha kar koi, hanse to phir ye kamal hai
jag ki reet badal kar sikho, dukh ko bhi sukh banana
kaanto bhari ye raah se hai, muskurate jana
aansu na bahana, ab aansu na bahana
kaanto bhari ye raah se hai, muskurate jana
sach pucho do dil ka milna, kata bhi hai phul bhi

Do not weep, do not weep now,
Across this thorn-laced path, smile and go.
Do not weep, do not weep now,
Across this thorn-laced path, smile and go.

The heady wind in this garden, opens buds untold,
The heady wind in this garden, opens buds untold,
In that very orchard, in the night's dark fold,
Dewdrops weep, a story to unfold.
In that very orchard, in the night's dark fold,
Dewdrops weep, a story to unfold.
You dwell within this world's embrace,
Just to laugh, and make laughter's space.
Across this thorn-laced path, smile and go.
Do not weep, do not weep now,
Across this thorn-laced path, smile and go.

In joy, the world laughs, this is the common way,
In joy, the world laughs, this is the common way,
But to laugh through sorrow, that is the day,
But to laugh through sorrow, that is the day,
Learn to change the world's ways,
Transform sorrow into joyful days.
Across this thorn-laced path, smile and go.
Do not weep, do not weep now,
Across this thorn-laced path, smile and go.
Truly, the meeting of hearts, a thorn, a flower too.
