phir aaj mujhe tumko bas itna batana hai
zara zor se please ha ha
phir aaj mujhe tumko bas itna batana hai
hasna hi jivan hai hanste hi jana hai
phir aaj mujhe tumko bas itna batana hai
hasna hi jivan hai hanste hi jana hai

madhuban ho ya gulshan ho patjhad ho ya sawan ho
madhuban ho ya gulshan ho patjhad ho ya sawan ho
har hal me ek saugat ek phul sa jivan hai
kanto me uljh ke bhi khushbu hi lutana hai
hasna hi jivan hai hanste hi jana hai

har pal jo gujar jaye daman ko to bhar jaye
har pal jo gujar jaye daman ko to bhar jaye
ye soch ke ji leta takdir sawar jaye
is umar ki raho se khushiyo ko churana hai
hasna hi jivan hai hanste hi jana hai

sab dard mita de hum har gam ko saza de hum
sab dard mita de hum har gam ko saza de hum
kahte hai jise jina duniya ko sikha de hum
ye aaj to apna hai kal bhi apnana hai
hasna hi jivan hai hanste hi jana hai
phir aaj mujhe tumko bas itna batana hai
hasna hi jivan hai hanste hi jana hai

Again, today, I must tell you this,
With all my force, yes, oh yes!
Again, today, I must tell you this:
To laugh is life, to depart with a laugh, this is it.
Again, today, I must tell you this:
To laugh is life, to depart with a laugh, this is it.

Be it paradise or a blooming garden, autumn or the monsoon's rain,
Be it paradise or a blooming garden, autumn or the monsoon's rain,
In every state, a gift, a life like a flower's domain.
Entangled in thorns, yet to give fragrance, is the aim.
To laugh is life, to depart with a laugh, this is it.

Each moment that passes, fills the soul's embrace,
Each moment that passes, fills the soul's embrace,
Living with this thought, destiny finds its space.
From the paths of this life, to steal joy, is the chase.
To laugh is life, to depart with a laugh, this is it.

A hundred pains we erase, to every sorrow, a sentence we place,
A hundred pains we erase, to every sorrow, a sentence we place,
What they call living, to the world, we shall trace.
This present is ours, tomorrow we embrace.
To laugh is life, to depart with a laugh, this is it.
Again, today, I must tell you this:
To laugh is life, to depart with a laugh, this is it.
