mai bhi pagal tu bhi pagal
ye bhi pagal wo bhi pagal
mai bhi pagal tu bhi pagal
ye bhi pagal wo bhi pagal
hum sab pagal pagal pagal
pagal pagal pagal
koi thoda o koi jayada, o koi pura o koi aadha
koi thoda koi jayada, koi pura koi aadha
pagal hai diwana hai
ye duniya pagalkhana hai
ye duniya pagalkhana hai
koi thoda o koi jayada, o koi pura o koi aadha
pagal hai diwana hai
ye duniya pagalkhana hai
ye duniya pagalkhana hai

ye na na ye ha hu
ye na na ye ha hu kya hai
ye mai mai ye tu tu kya hai
sab ek kursi ka jhagda hai, kursi ko sabne pakda hai
is kursi par wo baithega, jo humme sabse tagda hai
is mohmaya ke lalach ne, sari duniya ko jakda hai
is mohmaya ke lalach ne, sari duniya ko jakda hai
is jivan ki kursi se, sabka ek din uth jana hai
ye duniya pagalkhana hai
ye duniya pagalkhana hai

majhab nahi sikhata, aapas me bair pyare
aapas me bair pyare, majhab ke naam par hai
lekin fasad sare, lekin fasad sare
sabki zuban par phir jhagda zaban ka hai
ye haal mere pyare hindustan ka hai
kahi dharam uncha nicha, kahi rang gora kala
lakho hai kahne wale, nahi ek sunne wala
nahi ek sunne wala, ek rab de sare bande
kya pandit kya maulana
ye duniya pagalkhana hai
ye duniya pagalkhana hai

hum jaise hai hum achhe hai, jag jhuta hai hum sacche hai
hum sabme koi bair nahi, sab apne koi gair nahi
humko jo pagal kahte hai, hum unpe hanste rahte hai
tum humko na thik kar dena
aankho me aansu na bhar dena
humne pagal hokar yaro, is duniya ko pehchana hai
ye duniya pagalkhana hai
ye duniya pagalkhana hai
koi thoda koi jayada, koi pura koi aadha
pagal hai diwana hai
ye duniya pagalkhana hai
ye duniya pagalkhana hai
ye duniya pagalkhana hai
ye duniya pagalkhana hai

I, too, am mad, and so are you,
They are mad, and those are too.
I, too, am mad, and so are you,
They are mad, and those are too.
We are all mad, mad, mad,
Mad, mad, mad.
Some a little, some a lot, some whole, some partial,
Some a little, some a lot, some whole, some partial.
Mad, a lover's plight,
This world, a madhouse's light.
This world, a madhouse's light.
Some a little, some a lot, some whole, some partial,
Mad, a lover's plight,
This world, a madhouse's light.
This world, a madhouse's light.

This no, no, this yes, I am,
This no, no, this yes, I am, what is it?
This I, I, this you, you, what is it?
All, a chair's contention, the chair, all have grasped,
On this chair, he will sit, the strongest among us.
This illusion's greed, bound the whole world,
This illusion's greed, bound the whole world.
From this life's chair, all must one day depart,
This world, a madhouse's light.
This world, a madhouse's light.

Religion does not teach, to each other, hate, dear ones,
To each other, hate, dear ones, in religion's name,
But all the discord, but all the discord,
On everyone's tongue, then a quarrel of tongues.
This is the state of my dear Hindustan,
Somewhere, faith high, low, somewhere color white, black,
Millions speak, not one who listens,
Not one who listens, one God of all beings,
What priest, what Maulana?
This world, a madhouse's light.
This world, a madhouse's light.

As we are, we are good, the world is false, we are true,
Among us all, no enmity, all are ours, none strangers,
Those who call us mad, on them we laugh,
Do not make us right,
Do not fill our eyes with tears.
We, by being mad, friends, have recognized this world.
This world, a madhouse's light.
This world, a madhouse's light.
Some a little, some a lot, some whole, some partial,
Mad, a lover's plight,
This world, a madhouse's light.
This world, a madhouse's light.
This world, a madhouse's light.
This world, a madhouse's light.
