unke samne jab lut gaya jaha mera
ab bataye ke kona hai ab kahaan mera
mujhe bhi maut ka paigam aa jaye to achha ho
mujhe bhi maut ka paigam aa jaye to achha ho
hamesha ke liye aaram aa jaye to achha ho

tumhare sath jine ki tamana thi huyi rukhsat
tumhare sath jine ki tamana thi huyi rukhsat
agar ab zindagi ki sham aa jaye to achha ho
mujhe bhi maut ka paigam aa jaye to achha ho

mubarak ho tujhe to ab khushi ke jaam aye duniya
mubarak ho tujhe to ab khushi ke jaam aye duniya
labo ko zahar ka ek jaam aa jaye to achha ho
labo ko zahar ka ek jaam aa jaye to achha ho
mujhe bhi maut ka paigam aa jaye to achha ho

When my world before my eyes was plundered,
Tell me, where is mine now, forever sundered?
If the message of death would come to me, it would be well,
If the message of death would come to me, it would be well,
If eternal rest would come, it would be well.

The longing to live with you has departed,
The longing to live with you has departed.
If the evening of life should arrive, it would be well,
If the message of death would come to me, it would be well.

Rejoice, O world, in your cups of joy,
Rejoice, O world, in your cups of joy.
If a cup of poison should arrive, it would be well,
If a cup of poison should arrive, it would be well,
If the message of death would come to me, it would be well.
