Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Hindi-Urdu Lyrics:


aaj gham kal Khushee,
SORROW TODAY, HAPPINESS TOMORROW,


hai yahee zindagee, sun le pyaare,
THIS IS LIFE, LISTEN O DEAR!


aadmi voh jo himmat naa haare,
THE ONE WHO IS ALL GRIT AND DETERMINATION IS “THE MAN!”


aaj gham kal Khushee,
SORROW TODAY, HAPPINESS TOMORROW,


hai yahee zindagee, sun le pyaare,
THIS IS LIFE, LISTEN O DEAR!


aadmi voh jo himmat naa haare,
THE ONE WHO IS ALL GRIT AND DETERMINATION IS "THE MAN!"


jo naa kaa.nTo se daaman bachaaye,
THE ONE WHO ISN’T BOTHERED BY THE THORNS,


phool ban ke vohee muskuraaye,
‘TIS HE WHO SMILES AS A FLOWER,


phool ban ke vohee muskuraaye,
‘TIS HE WHO SMILES AS A FLOWER,


yoo.n hee mar mar kee jee,
THUS GO ON LIVING, THOUGH IN A MANNER OF DYING,


ashq ha.ns ha.ns ke pee, gham ke maare,
DRINK THE TEARS CHEERFULLY, O GRIEVING ONE!


aadmi voh jo himmat naa haare,
THE ONE WHO IS ALL GRIT AND DETERMINATION IS “THE MAN!”


aaj gham kal Khushee,
SORROW TODAY, HAPPINESS TOMORROW,


hai yahee zindagee, sun le pyaare,
THIS IS LIFE, LISTEN O DEAR!


aadmi voh jo himmat naa haare,
THE ONE WHO IS ALL GRIT AND DETERMINATION IS “THE MAN!”


jin ghareebo.n se duniyaa Khafaa hai,
THOSE POOR WITH WHOM THE WORLD IS CROSS,


un ko bhagwaan kaa aasraa hai,
THEY HAVE THE SUPPORT OF GOD,


un ko bhagwaan kaa aasraa hai,
THEY HAVE THE SUPPORT OF GOD,


mushkilo.n se naa Dar,
DON’T BE AFRAID OF DIFFICULTIES,


ho naa tuu is qadar , besahaare,
DON’T BE SO HELPLESS!


aadmi voh jo himmat naa haare,
THE ONE WHO IS ALL GRIT AND DETERMINATION IS “THE MAN!”


aaj gham kal Khushee,
SORROW TODAY, HAPPINESS TOMORROW,


hai yahee zindagee, sun le pyaare,
THIS IS LIFE, LISTEN O DEAR!


aadmi voh jo himmat naa haare,
THE ONE WHO IS ALL GRIT AND  DETERMINATION IS “THE MAN!”


NASIR


It seldom happens that any felicity comes so pure as not to be tempered and allayed by some mixture of sorrow.  Miguel de Cervantes
