mere munna jara sunna bat itni bap ki
mere munna jara sunna bat itni bap ki
tumhe nahi iska pata ishk hain kya bala
pyar kabhi ho jaye toh bura hain ya bhala
ho tajurbe se mere itna sikho mere munna
soch samajhke apne dil kaa rasta chunna
sun lo aaj ham jo bhi kahe kal ham rahe ya naa rahe
sun lo aaj ham jo bhi kahe kal ham rahe ya naa rahe

dekho beta jivan ek sanghasgh hain
jab tak jivan hain tab tak sangharsh hain
samjho aur samjhane ki koshish karo
suno mere munna koi tammana dil ko ghere to
ek chehra hi aankho me ghume sham savere to
ek sapna hi jo dekho tum roj rato me
ek nam hi dohrao jo sari bato me
to samjhna mere munna jo na hona tha wo ho gaya hain
akal puri so gayi hain chain jitna bhi tha kho gaya hain
pathharo peh munna tum na apne sar ko dhunnna
soch samajhke apne dil ka rasta chunna
sun lo aaj ham jo bhi kahe kal ham rahe ya naa rahe
sun lo aaj ham jo bhi kahe kal ham rahe ya naa rahe
mere munna jara sunna baat itni bap ki

jo hain sunehra usko hamesha samajh na lena sona
kagaz ke phoolo me khusbu naa ho to naa rona
ret chamakti hain toh lagti hain wo pani
munna kabhi nahi karna tum aaisi nadani
dil hain jiddi dil hain nadan uski bato me tum nahi aana
yad rakhna mere munna bhulke bhi na tum yeh naa bhulana
jo tut jaye tum naa sapne aaise bunna
soch samjhke apne dil kaa rasta chunna
sun lo aaj ham jo bhi kahe kal ham rahe ya naa rahe
sun lo aaj ham jo bhi kahe kal ham rahe ya naa rahe
mere munna jara sunna baat itni baap ki
baat itni baap ki baat itni baap ki

My son, listen close, heed your father's plea,
My son, listen close, this truth I share with thee:
You know not what love truly is, a tempest wild,
If love should come, will it make you tame or defiled?
From my own life, my son, learn this decree,
Choose your heart's path with careful scrutiny.
Hear what I say today, though tomorrow I may be gone,
Hear what I say today, though tomorrow dawns alone.

My son, life's a battle, a constant strife,
As long as you live, so too will be life.
Comprehend, strive to understand with all your heart,
Listen, my son, if a desire tears apart,
If one face haunts your vision, day and night,
If one dream fills your slumbers with its light,
If one name you repeat in every word you say,
Then know, my son, what shouldn't happen, holds sway,
Your reason sleeps, all your peace has flown away,
My son, don't beat your head against the stones, pray,
Choose your heart's path with careful scrutiny.
Hear what I say today, though tomorrow I may be gone,
Hear what I say today, though tomorrow dawns alone.
My son, listen close, heed your father's plea.

What glitters isn't always gold, you see,
If paper flowers hold no scent, don't weep for me.
The sand may shimmer, seeming water bright,
My son, never make such a foolish plight.
The heart is stubborn, the heart is naive, do not heed,
Remember, my son, forget not this deed,
Don't weave dreams that shatter, that are not true,
Choose your heart's path with careful scrutiny.
Hear what I say today, though tomorrow I may be gone,
Hear what I say today, though tomorrow dawns alone.
My son, listen close, heed your father's plea,
My son, heed your father's plea,
Heed your father's plea.
