ajab hai ye duniya ajab jindagi hai
ajab hai ye duniya ajab jindagi hai
ajag rang birangi ye mahfil lagi hai
ajab hai ye duniya

koi apni daulat pe itra raha hai
koi apni daulat pe itra raha hai
koi dil behayayi pe itra raha hai
na jane ye kaha se na jane ye kaha se
hawa ye chali hai
ajab rang birangi ye mahfil lagi hai
ajab hai ye duniya

badal ke yaha besh kitne hi baithe
badal ke yaha besh kitne hi baithe
hai berupiye sab ye jitne hai baithe
hai berupiye sab ye jitne hai baithe
yaha hosh ka naam
yaha hosh ka naam diwangi hai
ajab rang birangi ye mahfil lagi hai
ajab hai ye duniya

yaha de na koi sahara kisi ko
yaha de na koi sahara kisi ko
mohabbat kisi se ishara kisi ko
mohabbat kisi se ishara kisi ko
mohabbat ka matlab
mohabbat ka matlab ab dillagi hai
ajab rang birangi ye mahfil lagi hai
ajab hai ye duniya

Strange is this world, strange is this life,
Strange is this world, strange is this life,
Strange, the colors of this gathering.
Strange is this world.

Some boast of their wealth,
Some boast of their wealth,
Some boast of hearts lost to shame.
From where, from where,
Did this wind begin?
Strange, the colors of this gathering.
Strange is this world.

Changing masks, how many sit here,
Changing masks, how many sit here,
All the seated, are imposters.
All the seated, are imposters.
Here, sanity's name
Here, sanity's name is madness.
Strange, the colors of this gathering.
Strange is this world.

Here, none gives support to another,
Here, none gives support to another,
Love, a glance at another.
Love, a glance at another.
The meaning of love,
The meaning of love, is now mere play.
Strange, the colors of this gathering.
Strange is this world.
