jeene ki khushi na marne ka gum
wah ri ulfat tera sitam haye tera sitam

jeene ki khushi na marne ka gum
wah ri ulfat tera sitam haye tera sitam

rah na sake wo sapne suhane
sapne suhane
rah na sake wo sapne suhane
aaye hai aasu aag lagane
aaye hai aasu aag lagane
bhul ja aye dil bite jamane
bhul ja aye dil bite jamane
kaisi wafaye kaisi kasam
haye kaisi kasam
jine ki khushi na marne ka gum
wah ri ulfat tera sitam haye tera sitam

khel nirale kismat khele
khel nirale kismat khele
dil me lage hai gum ke mele
dil me lage hai gum ke mele
rat suhani tadpe akele
rat suhani tadpe akele
dekh ke tare royenge hum
haye royenge hum
jine ki khushi na marne ka gum
wah ri ulfat tera sitam haye tera sitam

No joy in living, no grief in dying,
O, love, your cruelty, your sting, I'm sighing.
No joy in living, no grief in dying,
O, love, your cruelty, your sting, I'm sighing.

Those sweet dreams, they could not remain,
Sweet dreams, they vanished in pain.
Tears have come now, setting fire ablaze,
Forget, O heart, those bygone days.
What loyalty? What oaths now reside?
How hollow, how false, where love once tied.
No joy in living, no grief in dying,
O, love, your cruelty, your sting, I'm sighing.

Strange games are played by fate's decree,
Strange games, for all the world to see.
Within the heart, a sorrowful fair,
Within the heart, a world of despair.
The night is sweet, yet I now yearn,
The night is sweet, alone I now burn.
Watching the stars, our tears will flow,
Watching the stars, our hearts will know.
No joy in living, no grief in dying,
O, love, your cruelty, your sting, I'm sighing.
