kyu hai diwane tu akela kaha gaye tere hai sathi
kyu hai diwane tu akela kaha gaye tere hai sathi
jam hai nasha hai na surahi aankho me chayi udashi
bhul ja tu wo fasane kal ke gujre jamane hasta hi ja
hasta hi ja aasu hazar sahi kahti hai reet yahi
fir se nayi dunia basale

mana ke dunia wo hasi thi pahlu me tha koi tere
aaj bhi tu chahe to diwane daman me aaja tu mere
bhul ja tu wo fasane kal ke gujre jamane hasta hi ja
hasta hi ja aasu hazar sahi kahti hai reet yahi
fir se nayi dunia basale

apni bhi rate kya buri hai unme bhi jine ki ada hai
inme bhi nagme hai jafa ke inme bhi sokhi hai nasha hai
bhul ja tu wo fasane kal ke gujre jamane hasta hi ja
hasta hi ja aasu hazar sahi kahti hai reet yahi
fir se nayi dunia basale

Why, mad one, are you alone? Where have your companions gone?
Why, mad one, are you alone? Where have your companions gone?
No chalice, no intoxication, no flask, but sadness in your eyes.
Forget those tales, the bygone days, depart into the past.
Keep laughing, though a thousand tears may fall, this is the way it is.
Build a new world once again.

You knew the world was lovely, someone beside you then,
Even now, if you desire, come to my embrace, my friend.
Forget those tales, the bygone days, depart into the past.
Keep laughing, though a thousand tears may fall, this is the way it is.
Build a new world once again.

Our nights, too, are not so bad, within them, ways of living reside.
Within them, melodies of pain, within them, a playful, intoxicated tide.
Forget those tales, the bygone days, depart into the past.
Keep laughing, though a thousand tears may fall, this is the way it is.
Build a new world once again.
