hum dil ko lutaate hai
hum dil ko lutaate hai
aur lute, aur lute
aur lute zamana
jiwan hai jawani se bharpur khazana
jiwan hai jawani se bharpur khazana

hontho pe hansi khele
gaalo pe hai laali
hontho pe hansi khele
gaalo pe hai laali
aankh meri jaadu bhari
aankh meri jaadu bhari
julf hai kaali
meri julf hai kaali
do din ka tamasha hai
do din ka tamasha hai
na der lagana, na der lagana
hum dil ko lutaate hai
aur lute zamana
jiwan hai jawani se bharpur khazana

dil me mere dard hai aur dard me armaan
dil me mere dard hai aur dard me armaan
ae mere kharidaar, ae mere kharidaar
na hona tu pashemaan
ae mere kharidaar
na hona tu pashemaan
jab chahe hansa le
jab chahe rula le
jab chahe hansa le
jab chahe rula le
jo dil me tere aaye
vo naach nacha le
jo dil me tere aaye
vo naach nacha le
aa aankh mila jaalim
aa aankh mila jaalim
ab chhod bahana, ab chhod bahana
hum dil ko lutaate hai
aur lute zamana
jiwan hai jawani se bharpur khazana

We pour out our hearts,
We pour out our hearts,
And plunder, and plunder,
Let the world plunder.
Life, a treasure, overflowing with youth,
Life, a treasure, overflowing with youth.

Laughter dances on my lips,
Crimson blooms on my cheeks,
My eyes, filled with magic,
My hair, a raven's night.
A fleeting spectacle,
A fleeting spectacle,
Do not tarry, do not tarry.
We pour out our hearts,
And let the world plunder,
Life, a treasure, overflowing with youth.

In my heart, a sorrow, and in sorrow, desire,
In my heart, a sorrow, and in sorrow, desire,
O, my buyer, O, my buyer,
Do not be remorseful.
O, my buyer,
Do not be remorseful.
When you wish, make me laugh,
When you wish, make me weep,
When you wish, make me laugh,
When you wish, make me weep,
Dance me to your heart's whims,
Dance me to your heart's whims,
Come, meet my gaze, cruel one,
Come, meet my gaze, cruel one,
Lay aside your excuses, lay aside your excuses.
We pour out our hearts,
And let the world plunder,
Life, a treasure, overflowing with youth.
