naav kaagaz ki gehara hain paani
zindagi ki yahi hain kahaani
fir bhi har haal me muskurake
duniyadari padegi nibhani
duniyadari padegi nibhani
naav kaagaz ki gehara hain paani

baat kaanto ki kya phul chubhne lage
apni saanso se hi ham sulagne lage
baat kaanto ki kya phul chubhne lage
apni saanso se hi ham sulagne lage
un ummido ki jinse khushi thi judi
aaj baaki nahi hain nishani
fir bhi har haal me muskurake
duniyadari padegi nibhani
duniyadari padegi nibhani

hausla hain to fir aaj haarenge kyun
is musibat pe jivan ko varenge kyun
hausla hain to fir aaj haarenge kyun
is musibat pe jivan ko varenge kyun
raah mushkil hain fir bhi badhenge kadam
itani asaan nahi zindgani
fir bhi har haal me muskurake
duniyadari padegi nibhani
duniyadari padegi nibhani

apna jivan kaha hain ye apne liye
sab nibhane padenge vachan jo diye
apna jivan kaha hain ye apne liye
sab nibhane padenge vachan jo diye
dard dil me ho lekin labon par hansi
umar to farz par hain lutaani
fir bhi har haal me muskurake
duniyadari padegi nibhani
duniyadari padegi nibhani
duniyadari padegi nibhani

A paper boat on water deep,
This life, a story it does keep.
Yet, with a smile, in every plight,
The world's game must be played with light.
The world's game must be played with light,
A paper boat on water deep.

Why speak of thorns, when blooms now sting?
By our own breaths, our souls now swing.
Why speak of thorns, when blooms now sting?
By our own breaths, our souls now swing.
Of hopes we held, where joy did reside,
No trace remains, where dreams did fly.
Yet, with a smile, in every plight,
The world's game must be played with light.
The world's game must be played with light.

When courage blooms, why yield the day?
Why on this pain, our lives display?
When courage blooms, why yield the day?
Why on this pain, our lives display?
Though paths are hard, we'll onward tread,
This life's not easy, what is said.
Yet, with a smile, in every plight,
The world's game must be played with light.
The world's game must be played with light.

Our lives, they are not ours alone,
The vows we made, must all be shown.
Our lives, they are not ours alone,
The vows we made, must all be shown.
Though hearts may ache, smiles we must wear,
Our years on duty, we must share.
Yet, with a smile, in every plight,
The world's game must be played with light.
The world's game must be played with light.
The world's game must be played with light.
