kabhi hai gam kabhi khushiya yahi to zindagani hai
kabhi lab par hansi hai aur kabhi aankho me pani hai
kabhi hai gam

na ghabra asama par chha gaya hai aaj agar baadal
na ghabra asama par chha gaya hai aaj agar baadal
ke ye baadal hi chanda ke nikalne ki nishani hai
ke ye baadal hi chanda ke nikalne ki nishani hai
kabhi hai gam

bhara karte hai zakhm-e-dil aur aansu bhi hai tham jate
bhara karte hai zakhm-e-dil aur aansu bhi hai tham jate
aur aansu bhi hai tham jate
banaai jisne duniya ye usi ki meharbani hai
banaai jisne duniya ye usi ki meharbani hai
kabhi hai gam kabhi khushiya yahi to zindagani hai
kabhi hai gam

Sometimes sorrow, sometimes joy, this is life's decree,
Sometimes laughter on the lips, sometimes tears for the sea.
Sometimes sorrow.

Don't fear if the sky is veiled in clouds today,
Don't fear if the sky is veiled in clouds today,
For these clouds are but the moon's revealing way.
For these clouds are but the moon's revealing way.
Sometimes sorrow.

Heart's wounds do heal, though tears may cease to flow,
Heart's wounds do heal, though tears may cease to flow,
And tears may cease to flow.
He who made the world, His grace is what we know.
He who made the world, His grace is what we know.
Sometimes sorrow, sometimes joy, this is life's decree,
Sometimes sorrow.
