jina hai to hans ke jiyo jivan me ek pal bhi rona na
jina hai to hans ke jiyo jivan me ek pal bhi rona na
hasna hi to hai zindagi ro ro ke jivan ye khona na
jina hai to hans ke jiyo jivan me ek pal bhi rona na

aaj yaha jo kho gaya wo kal kahi mil jayega
patjhad me jo murjha gaya wo phul kal khil jayega
ummid pe duniya chale mayus jivan me hona na
hasna hi to hai zindagi ro ro ke jivan ye khona na
jina hai to hans ke jiyo jivan me ek pal bhi rona na

aansu nahi moti hai ye palko se ye tute nahi
kam ho kabhi na hosala dhiraj kabhi chhute nahi
dukh dard se dil har ke aansu se daman bhigona na
hasna hi to hai zindagi ro ro ke jivan ye khona na
jina hai to hans ke jiyo jivan me ek pal bhi rona na
hasna hi to hai zindagi ro ro ke jivan ye khona na

Live, if you must, with laughter's grace,
Never a tear to stain life's face.
Live, if you must, with laughter's art,
Do not waste life, tear-laden heart.

What is lost today, may reappear,
As withered blooms bloom through the year.
Hope is the world's sustaining plea,
Despair a barren destiny.
Do not waste life, tear-laden heart,
Live, if you must, with laughter's art,
Never a tear to stain life's face.

Tears, not mere water, are pearls divine,
From the lashes, let them not decline.
Let courage never falter, never cease,
Patience embrace, and find inner peace.
Don't let sorrow defeat the soul's design,
Do not let tears your spirit entwine.
Do not waste life, tear-laden heart,
Live, if you must, with laughter's art,
Never a tear to stain life's face.
Do not waste life, tear-laden heart.
