jara sa hans lu kya
dar lagta hai jag kahin ruth na jaye
dar lagta hai jag kahin ruth na jaye
maine barso neer bahaye
jara sa hans lu kya
dar lagta hai jag kahin ruth na jaye
maine barso neer bahaye
jara sa hans lu kya

maine to dekha din raat andhera
aaya kahan se anjaan savera
maine to dekha din raat andhera
aaya kahan se anjaan savera
kisne ye mere sune jiya me
prem ke deep jalaye
jara sa hans lu kya
dar lagta hai jag kahin ruth na jaye
maine barso neer bahaye
jara sa hans lu kya

log na janu main, hanste hai kaise
ujde huye dil phir baste hai kaise
log na janu main, hanste hai kaise
ujde huye dil phir baste hai kaise
ye na ho main hansne lagu to
aankh meri bhar aaye
jara sa hans lu kya
dar lagta hai jag kahin ruth na jaye
maine barso neer bahaye
jara sa hans lu kya

naam hai mera is jag me nirasha
kisne pukara phir kah kar aasha
naam hai mera is jag me nirasha
kisne pukara phir kah kar aasha
kya sach hai kya jhuth na jane
baat samajh na aaye
jara sa hans lu kya
dar lagta hai jag kahin ruth na jaye
maine barso neer bahaye
jara sa hans lu kya

Should I dare to laugh a little?
Afraid the world will turn away.
Afraid the world will turn away.
For years, I've wept a silent sea.
Should I dare to laugh a little?
Afraid the world will turn away.
For years, I've wept a silent sea.
Should I dare to laugh a little?

I have only known the endless night,
Where did this unknown dawn arise?
I have only known the endless night,
Where did this unknown dawn arise?
Who lit, within my barren heart,
The lamps of love's sweet lies?
Should I dare to laugh a little?
Afraid the world will turn away.
For years, I've wept a silent sea.
Should I dare to laugh a little?

I do not know how others laugh,
How broken hearts find home again.
I do not know how others laugh,
How broken hearts find home again.
What if, in laughter's fragile bloom,
My eyes begin to rain?
Should I dare to laugh a little?
Afraid the world will turn away.
For years, I've wept a silent sea.
Should I dare to laugh a little?

My name in this world is Despair,
Who calls to me, and speaks of Hope?
My name in this world is Despair,
Who calls to me, and speaks of Hope?
What is truth, and what is lie?
These words, I cannot cope.
Should I dare to laugh a little?
Afraid the world will turn away.
For years, I've wept a silent sea.
Should I dare to laugh a little?
