lyrics

Original Urdu followed by English translation

Junum ke Dookh
Junun ke dookh me kioon purri ho?
Moht ki khooshi me gaya kurro
Char din ki zindagi hai
Ga ke dil behlaya kurro

Tor do bundhan kioon durti ho?
Chhor do rishte kioon rookti ho?
In dustooron se kia ghubrana?
Moht ki khooshi me gaya kurro-

Upnai sutch ko maan lo
Upnai huq ko thaam lo
Keh do keh do upna fasana
Moht ki khooshi me gaya kurro-

Ghoongroo pehno surma lugao
Jaam piyi aur mehfil bunao
Chahe roothai sara zumana
Moht ki khooshi me gaya kurro-

The Pain of Life

Why be lost in the pain of life?
Sing at the ecstacy of death
Life is so short
Sing and be glad to be alive

Leave bad relationships, don't hesitate
Break those bonds, don't be afraid
Tell your own story
Sing at the ecstacy of death

Believe in your own truth
Take what is rightly yours
Don't be afraid of empty convention
Sing at the ecstacy of death

Wear dancing bells, make yourself beautiful
Drink be happy and party
Even if the world disapproves
Sing at the ecstacy of death
