duniya ki sabha pal chhin hi sahi
jivan ka safar do din hi sahi
thodi ka sikwa kar bande
jine ki tarah ek roj to jee
duniya ki sabha pal chhin hi sahi
jivan ka safar do din hi sahi
thodi ka sikwa kar bande
jine ki tarah ek roj to jee
duniya ki sabha

aao raant tatpar jine se
aur gam ke aansu aur gam ke aansu
pine se ek pal bhar ki muskan bhali
ek pal bhar ki
ek pal bhar ki muskan bhali
achchi hai khushi ye ghadi
do ghadi kali muskurati hai
aur bag ko aur bag ko mahka jati hai
jo kam kisi ke aa jaye jivan hai wahi
do din hi sahi do din hi sahi

tu samma na ban parwana ban
deewana sahi deewana ban
kuch leke gaya kuch leke gaya
to haar hui kuch deke gaya to jeet hui
duniya ki sabha

The world's stage, a fleeting breath,
Life's journey, a mere two days, at best.
Lament not, O soul,
Live, as if for but a single dawn.
The world's stage, a fleeting breath,
Life's journey, a mere two days, at best.
Lament not, O soul,
Live, as if for but a single dawn.
The world's stage...

Come, serene and ready, to live,
Rather than weep the tears of sorrow,
A fleeting smile is far more fair,
A fleeting smile,
A fleeting smile, is far more fair.
Happiness, in this brief hour, is good,
For two moments, the bud does bloom,
And perfumes the garden, and perfumes the garden.
That which serves another, that is life,
Two days, at best, two days, at best.

Be not the moth, become the flame,
Be mad, indeed, be mad with life.
To take and leave, is loss untold,
To give and leave, is victory won.
The world's stage...
