man murkh kyu diwana hai man murkh kyu diwana hai
aaj rahe kal jana hai aaj rahe kal jana hai
man murkh kyu diwana hai
aaj khili jo dhoop to kal ko ghan andhiyara chhana hai
ghan andhiyara chhana hai man murkh kyu diwana hai
aaj rahe kal jana hai man murkh kyu diwana hai

phool chaman mein khila aaj to kal usko murjhana hai
phool chaman mein khila aaj to kal usko murjhana hai
man murkh kyu diwana hai aaj rahe kal jana hai
jisko hum chahe kuch kare chala
chala use ha jaan ha jana hai
man murkh kyu diwana hai aaj rahe kal jana hai
man murkh kyu diwana hai

Why, foolish heart, this wild desire?
Here today, tomorrow to expire.
Why, foolish heart, this wild desire?

The sun that blooms today, tomorrow hides in gloom,
Tomorrow hides in gloom. Why, foolish heart, desire?
Here today, tomorrow to expire.
Why, foolish heart, this wild desire?

The flower blooms within the garden's grace,
But fades, its beauty gone, its time and place.
The flower blooms within the garden's grace,
But fades, its beauty gone, its time and place.
Why, foolish heart, this wild desire? Here today, tomorrow to expire.

That which we love, however hard we try,
Must leave, must leave, beneath a changing sky.
Why, foolish heart, this wild desire? Here today, tomorrow to expire.
Why, foolish heart, this wild desire?
