ye shahab ko zara dekho
aa aa in shahab ko zara dekho
ye aise kyu hai socho
ye shahab ajib hai ye shahab ajib hai
bigde bigde se chide chide se rahte hai
ye jinse hans ke bat kare wo khushnasib hai
ye shahab ajib hai ye shahab ajib hai
bigde bigde chide chide se rahte hai
ye jinse hans ke bat kare wo khushnasib hai
ye shahab ajib hai ye shahab ajib hai
ye shahab ajib hai

inhe lad pyar bachpan me shayd mil nahi paye
laddu bas dur se dekhe lekin kabhi na khaye
shyad bachpan me manga tha jab koi khilona
badle me mila tha kona aur kone me rona
to chide huye ye bade huye
ye duniya se hai lade huye

khushiya bhi agar daulat hai
khushiya bhi agar daulat hai
to ye shahab garib hai
ye shahab ajib hai ye shahab ajib hai
shyad inka mammy daddy se panga huya hai
shadi ke bad ghar me koi danga huya hai
jis ladki se karni thi in shahab ko shadi
daddy ne kaha mere ghar ki bahu ban hi nahi sakti
jo gusa bada to kissa bada
muh mod liya ghar chhod diya
mummy roti hai mummy roti hai
daddy marne ke karib hai
ye shahab ajib hai ye shahab ajib hai
bigde bigde se chide chide se rahte hai
ye jinse hans ke bat kare wo khushnasib hai
ye shahab ajib hai ye shahab ajib hai
ye shahab ajib hai ye shahab ajib hai

Behold this man, observe him well,
Why does this sorrow hold him in its spell?
A stranger, he, a puzzling soul,
Forever etched with stories untold.
A frown his constant, bitter guise,
Blessed are those who meet his smiling eyes.

Perhaps his childhood knew no grace,
Sweet treats denied, a vacant space.
A longed-for toy, a whispered plea,
Met with a corner, misery.
Thus, embittered, he took flight,
And waged a war against the light.

If joy is wealth, a precious store,
Then this man's heart is ever poor.
Perhaps the parents' hearts did break,
A clash of wills, for goodness sake.
The girl he loved, his destined bride,
Denied, "She'll never grace my side."
Anger swelled, the tale grew vast,
He turned away, the die was cast.
His mother weeps, her tears descend,
His father nears the bitter end.
A stranger, he, a puzzling soul,
Forever etched with stories untold.
A frown his constant, bitter guise,
Blessed are those who meet his smiling eyes.
A stranger, he, a puzzling soul,
A stranger, he, a puzzling soul.
