zindagi to bewafa hai ek din thukrayegi
zindagi to bewafa hai ek din thukrayegi
maut mehbooba hai
maut mehbooba hai apne saath lekar jayegi
mar ke jeene ki ada jo duniya ko sikhlayega
wo muqaddar ka sikandar
wo muqaddar ka sikandar janeman

Life, a fleeting mistress, will one day turn away,
Life, a fleeting mistress, will one day turn away.
Death, my beloved,
Death, my beloved, will carry me away.

He who learns to live beyond the veil of dying,
He, the conqueror of fate,
He, the conqueror of fate, my love.
