ek hame aawaaraa kahanaa koi badaa ilzaam nahi
ek hame aawaaraa kahanaa koi badaa ilzaam nahi
duniyaa waale dil waalo ko aur bahut kuchh kahate hai

wohi mizaaj wohi chaal hai zamaane ki
wohi mizaaj wohi chaal hai zamaane ki
hame bhi ho gayi aadat fareb khaane ki
wohi mizaaj wohi chaal hai zamaane ki

mai saare shahar me tanhaa nahi huaa ruswaa
mai, mai, mai saare shahar me tanhaa nahi huaa ruswaa
mai saare shahar me tanhaa nahi huaa ruswaa
sazaa mili hai tumhe bhi to dil lagaane ki
sazaa mili hai tumhe bhi to dil lagaane ki

sharaab milati hai lekin hamaari pyaas se kam
sharaab milati hai lekin hamaari pyaas se kam
ajib rasm hai saaqi yahaan pilaane ki
ajib rasm hai saaqi yahaan pilaane ki

nazar bachaa ke tumhe dekhataa hun mahafil me
nazar bachaa ke tumhe dekhataa hun mahafil me
nazar lage na kahi tumako is diwaane ki
nazar lage na kahi tumako is diwaane ki
hame bhi ho gayi aadat fareb khaane ki
wohi mizaaj wohi chaal hai zamaane ki
wohi mizaaj wohi chaal hai zamaane ki
hame bhi ho gayi aadat fareb khaane ki
wohi mizaaj wohi chaal hai zamaane ki

To be called a wanderer, no great shame is this,
For the world brands lovers with far harsher names.

The world's ways, the same old guise and game,
The same world, the same game, the same lies,
And I too, have grown accustomed to deceit.

In this city, I'm not alone in my disgrace,
No, I'm not alone,
For you too, are punished for loving deep.

Though wine flows, it can't quench my thirst,
A strange custom this, of the tavern keeper.

I steal glances at you in the crowded hall,
Lest the gaze of this madman harm you,
Lest the gaze of this madman bring you pain,
And I, too, have grown accustomed to deceit.

The same world, the same game, the same lies,
And I too, have grown accustomed to deceit.
The same world, the same game, the same lies.
