janaeman jananeman
janaeman jananeman, taasra kurbadesam
janaeman jananeman
janaeman jananeman, taasra kurbadesam
waqt hain tera na mera, waqt ka apna chalan
har jawani leke aati, hain budhapa janeman
janaeman jananeman
janaeman jananeman, taasra kurbadesam

ghumta rahta hain pahiya, chlta rahta hain basar
maa ki baho se jamii ki, god tak sara safar
se garmi jaye, saavan sukhe sardi aaye
mausam ke jaal me, jakda hua hain har chaman
janaeman jananeman
janaeman jananeman, taasra kurbadesam

zindagi kahte hain jisko, dilruba mashuk hain
ye kabhi phulo ki dali, ye kabhi banduk hain
hansna rona mere pyare, zindagi ke do nazare
in nazaro hi se raushan, hain jaha ka bagpan
janaeman jananeman
janaeman jananeman, taasra kurbadesam

Sacrificed am I,
Beloved, O my beloved.
Beloved, O my beloved, a final sacrifice.
Beloved, O my beloved.
Beloved, O my beloved, a final sacrifice.

Time is not yours, nor mine, time's own decree.
Each youth brings forth, old age, beloved.
Beloved, O my beloved.
Beloved, O my beloved, a final sacrifice.

The wheel turns ever, existence treads on.
From mother's arms to earth's embrace, the complete journey.
The heat departs, the monsoon dries, winter arrives.
Entangled in seasons' net, every garden sighs.
Beloved, O my beloved.
Beloved, O my beloved, a final sacrifice.

Life, they call it, a lover, a darling.
Sometimes a floral branch, sometimes a gun.
Laughter and tears, my dear, life's two scenes.
By these scenes alone, the world's garden blooms.
Beloved, O my beloved.
Beloved, O my beloved, a final sacrifice.
