hasi lut gayi khushi lut gayi
kaise jiu mai kehne ko to
jindagi hai jindagi
hasi lut gayi khushi lut gayi
kaise jiu mai kehne ko to
jindagi hai jindagi hasi lut gayi

andhere me kaise diya mai jalau
andhere me kaise diya mai jalau
kahi is tarah mai khud jal na jau
kise apne dil ka mai dukhda sunau
hasi lut gayi khushi lut gayi
kaise jiu mai kane ko to
jindagi hai jindagi hasi lut gayi

kahi taak me hai hawas ka shikari
kahi taak me hai hawas ka shikari
bacha le mujhe koi prit ka pujari
ke is jindagi se to hai maut pyari
hasi lut gayi khushi lut gayi
kaise jiu mai kane ko to
jindagi hai jindagi hasi lut gayi

Laughter stolen, joy has fled,
How to live, when life is said
To be life, but laughter's lost?

In darkness, what flame can I ignite?
In darkness, lest I burn in the night,
To whom can I pour out my plight?
Laughter stolen, joy has fled,
How to live, when life is said
To be life, but laughter's lost?

A hunter of lust lies in wait,
A hunter of lust seals my fate,
Oh, priest of love, seal the gate!
For death is sweeter than this state.
Laughter stolen, joy has fled,
How to live, when life is said
To be life, but laughter's lost?
