bach jaa.e javānī meñ jo duniyā havā se

hotā hai farishta koī insāñ nahīñ hotā

bach jae jawani mein jo duniya ki hawa se

hota hai farishta koi insan nahin hota

muTThī meñ un de de koī dil nikāl ke

mehndi lagae baiThe hain kuchh is ada se wo

muTThi mein un ki de de koi dil nikal ke

ġham mujhe dete ho auroñ ḳhushī ke vāste

kyuuñ bure bante ho tum nāhaq kisī ke vāste

you heap these sorrows onto me, why for other's sake?

For someone else, needlessly this blame why do you take?

gham mujhe dete ho auron ki KHushi ke waste

kyun bure bante ho tum nahaq kisi ke waste

you heap these sorrows onto me, why for other's sake?

For someone else, needlessly this blame why do you take?
