jhutha jamir bech ke kha gaya
chalo nalayak kaam to aa gaya
banke sayana tha jeeya jhallya jhallya
ab jake jana sach hai kya jhallya
udti khabar thi ye suni jhallya jhallya
mitti se ugti zindri jhallya
o mitti me khud ko main to
aa gaya mila ke
haye aa dekh ugta ab hai kya jhallya jhallya
banke sayana tha jeeya jhallya
ab jake jana sach hai kya jhallya jhallya
o banke sayana tha jeeya jhallya

befikar panchhiyo sa gaata mere naal
kisnu farak pade, ki farak painda
ik vaari aisa bhi hua jhallya jhallya
jat bola saanu tu hansa jhallya
main lake shisha rakh diya jhallya jhallya
lo ji tamasha ho gaya jhallya
o na to main murshid
na to hu koi makhali
main to hu adna chhalya jhallya jhallya
banke sayana tha jeeya jhallya
ab jake jana sach hai kya jhallya jhallya
o banke sayana tha jeeya jhallya

rang de dil ke diwar ?
aa gaya kaun rab ne sambhala
nikla wo ishq thagiya jhallya jhallya
laila ko majnu kar gaya jhallya
mujhko to khud se thi garaj jhallya jhallya
khud ka ye bosa le liya jhallya
daanva kare wo kaise ke meharban hai
jab tak nahi matlabiya jhallya jhallya
banke sayana tha jeeya jhallya
ab jake jana sach hai kya jhallya jhallya
o banke sayana tha jeeya jhallya

jhallya jhallya jhallya
jhallya jhallya jhallya

Sold my conscience, dined on the lie,
At least, the worthless earned a buy.
Lived a fool, pretending wise,
Now, at last, I see the truth with opened eyes.
Heard the rumors drift and fly,
Life from dust begins to rise.
Oh, in the soil, I now descend,
To merge, to find, and comprehend.
See what blooms, a final prize,
Lived a fool, pretending wise,
Now, at last, I see the truth with opened eyes.
Oh, lived a fool, pretending wise.

Carefree birdsong, they sing with me,
Who cares, what does it truly be?
Once, a moment, etched in time,
They said, "Make us laugh, you pantomime."
I held a mirror, clear and bright,
Behold the show, the fading light.
I am no teacher, no one grand,
Just a humble trickster in this land.
Lived a fool, pretending wise,
Now, at last, I see the truth with opened eyes.
Oh, lived a fool, pretending wise.

Color the heart's walls anew?
Who comes, whom God sustains and knew?
Love, a thief, its shadows cast,
Made Majnun of Layla, unsurpassed.
I sought myself, a hidden quest,
And kissed myself, and found my rest.
How can they claim such grace to give,
When self-interest is all they live?
Lived a fool, pretending wise,
Now, at last, I see the truth with opened eyes.
Oh, lived a fool, pretending wise.
