ON THE FLOWERY PATHS, 

har moR pe yeh samjhaati hui,
EXPLAINING AT EVERY TURN

yeh ishq bhii toh hai ik chakkar
THIS LOVE, TOO, IS A SPIN! 

Koi dekhe koi dekhe
SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK, SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK!

dil thaam chale hamm aaj kidhar, 
CLUTCHING MY HEART WHERE I AM OFF TO

THE ARROGANT HEAD IS FOREVER LOW, SIR,


jo bhee jitnaa uThaaye usse utnee pa.De,
AS MUCH AS ONE LIFTS IT, THAT MANY BLOWS HE RECEIVES!


kis baat kaa gumaan, bhalaa kare insaan,
WELL, FOR WHAT SHOULD MAN BE PROUD OF


jab jaane naa banaane waalaa kaun hai,
WHEN HE DOESN’T KNOW WHO THE BUILDER IS!


Chorus:

THERE’S SOMETHING CALLED LOVE, IT DOESN’T KNOW!


yeh hai jhooTh kee Ghulaam jooTh subho jhooTh shaam,
‘TIS A SLAVE TO FALSEHOOD, SPEAKING LIES MORN AND EVE,


kabhee bhool se naa kare kisee kaa bhalaa,
NEVER DOING GOOD TO ANYONE EVEN BY A SLIP!


yahaa.n miltaa hai naik,
HERE ONE COMES ACROSS A VIRTUOUS PERSON


koee laakho.n me.n aik,
WHO’S ONE AMONGST A MILLION!


par usse apnaane waalaa kaun hai,
BUT WHO’S THERE TO ACCEPT  HIM?


yeh duniya patang nit badle yeh rang,
THIS WORLD’S A KITE, ALWAYS CHANGING ITS SHADE!


koee jaane naa u.Daane waalaa kaun hai,
WHO’S FLYING IT, NO ONE KNOWS!


yeh duniya patang nit badle yeh rang,
THIS WORLD’S A KITE, ALWAYS CHANGING ITS SHADE!


koee jaane naa u.Daane waalaa kaun hai,
WHO’S FLYING IT, NO ONE KNOWS!
