jag suna suna thera thera sa
mera sapna apna ghera ghera sa
jag suna suna thera thera sa
mera sapna apna ghera ghera sa

sare sehar ki jagmag ke bhitar hai andhera
har muskan ke peeche chupa hua gham ka chehra
yehi hai sach to harpal ko jee lu mein jee bhar ke
aur has has ke ye keh dun dukho ke patthar se
alvida alvida, alvida alvida

koi waqt ke aage hara hara sa
koi pyaar mein firta mara mara sa
dil ke riston mein kyun dard hamesha milta hai
aur kyun kaanto per hi phool sukho ka khilta hai
yehi hai sach to main iss sach ko hi apnaunga
mar bhi jaunga to main pyaar amar kar jaunga
alvida alvida, alvida alvida
alvida alvida, alvida alvida

zindagi na mil ajnabi banke
zindagi na mil ajnabi banke
bandagi shamil har dua banke
bandagi shamil har dua banke
zindagi na mil ajnabi banke
bandagi shamil har dua banke

The world, a vacant echo, still and slow,
My dream, a depth of secrets I must know.
The world, a vacant echo, still and slow,
My dream, a depth of secrets I must know.

Beneath the city's glittering, darkness dwells,
Behind each smile, a sorrow's story tells.
If this be truth, then every moment seize,
And laugh, defiant, at life's cruel decrees.
Farewell, farewell, farewell, farewell.

Some bow to time, defeated and forlorn,
Some wander love's lost, eternally torn.
Why does the heart in kinship always bleed?
Why do the thorns hold flowers, a bitter deed?
If this be truth, I'll claim this truth as mine,
And if I die, my love will still enshrine.
Farewell, farewell, farewell, farewell.
Farewell, farewell, farewell, farewell.

Life, do not meet as a stranger unknown,
Life, do not meet as a stranger unknown,
But let devotion in every prayer be shown,
But let devotion in every prayer be shown,
Life, do not meet as a stranger unknown,
But let devotion in every prayer be shown.
