Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain, diye jalte hain, 
phool khilte hain
badi mushkil se, magar, duniya mein dost, 
milte hain, diye jalte hain

Jab jis waqt kisi ka, pyar juda hota hai, 
kuchh na poochho, yaron dil ka, haal bura hota hai,
Jab jis waqt kisi ka pyar juda hota hai, 
kuchh na poonchho yaron dil ka haal bura hota hai,
dil pe yadon ke jaise, teer chalte hain, ahanha
Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain, 
diye jalte hain

Is rang roop pe dekho, hargiz naaz na karna, 
jaan bhi mange, yaar to dede na, naraz na karna,
rang ud jate hain, dhoop dhalte hain, hmhmhm
Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain, diye jalte hain

Daulat aur jawani, ek din kho jaati hain, 
sach kahta hoon, saari duniya, dushman ho jaati hai,
umr bhar dost lekin saath chalte hain hmmhm
Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain, 
badi mushkil se, magar, duniya mein dost milte hain
Diye jalte hain.
