hatho se dil tham ke payal jhankar de
hamne zindgani sari nach ke gujar di
hamne zindgani sari nach ke gujar di

apni duniya chupi rahi apne dil ke raz me
sauj bhara daur chala saaz ki aawaz me
dekha jisne ghum ke to jhum ke bahar di
hamne zindgani sari nach ke gujar di
hamne zindgani sari nach ke gujar di

mehfil me kaha hasa lab pe hasi aa gayi
ghunght ko hata ke dekha to chandani cha gayi
aise baharo ki najar dekh ke utar di
hamne zindgani sari nach ke gujar di
hamne zindgani sari nach ke gujar di

aasuo me haste aaye badhte aaye geet me
jeet mili har me to haar mili jeet me
kismat ne hame hamne kismat ko
thokar mar di
hamne zindgani sari nach ke gujar di
hatho se dil tham ke payal jhankar de
hamne zindgani sari nach ke gujar di

With hands that clutch the heart, let anklets chime,
Our lives, a dance, consumed by passing time.
Our lives, a dance, consumed by passing time.

Our hidden world, within the heart's deep keep,
A sorrowed age, in music's slumber deep.
Who turned to gaze, found joy in every clime,
Our lives, a dance, consumed by passing time.
Our lives, a dance, consumed by passing time.

In gatherings, laughter, a smile took flight,
Lifting the veil, bathed in silver light.
Such beauty seen, a weightless paradigm,
Our lives, a dance, consumed by passing time.
Our lives, a dance, consumed by passing time.

Through tears we laughed, in songs we found our way,
Victory in loss, in triumph, disarray.
Fate's cruel hand, by our own strength defied,
Our lives, a dance, consumed by passing time.
With hands that clutch the heart, let anklets chime,
Our lives, a dance, consumed by passing time.
