aisi jagah dil kahata hai chalo
My heart says, let's go to a place
duniya ki koi buraayi jahaan na ho
where the world's vices don't exist .
fauzi taiyaari jang aur laraayi
Army drills, war and fighting,
bhuukh aur bimaari gandi raajniti
hunger, sickness, dirty politics —
in sabse duur jahin to hogi hansti gaati zindagi
somewhere far away from these, there must be a life of laughter and singing .
mahanat hamne paanch dinon ki
We've worked hard for five days,
paayi tab hai do din ki chhutti
and now we get two days' break.
aao khushi se jhuumein hawaaon ki tarah ghuumein
Come, let's dance with joy; let's wander like the wind.
kaliyon ko ham chhuumein laharon se khelein
Let's kiss flower buds and play in the waves.
bachpan mein laut jaayein pankh lagaake
Let's take wing and return to childhood.
urna sikhke is ambar ki sair karein
Let's learn to fly and take a tour of the sky.
pardesi hai panchhi banke nagar nagar ki sair karein
We're foreigners; let's become birds and explore city after city.
phir dariya ki or jaayein uunchi nichi mauj aaye
Then we'll go toward the ocean, and watch the waves come in, high and low.
aise jhuulein jhulaayein aaye nind hamein
They'll rock us to sleep.

dekho jo koi larki pyaari apni in aankhon mein tum uske sapne rakh lo
If you see some beautiful girl, tuck her dreams away in your eyes.
saagar ki laharon ki saari usko pahanaao
Dress her in a sari made of the ocean's waves.
ambar ke taaron ke bunde usko banwaao
Make her earrings from the stars in the sky.
usko bhi pyaar se khud se kahate raho
Lovingly tell her, and yourself too,
pyaara yeh khwaab hai do din to dekh lo
that this is a lovely dream, to be entertained for two days at least.
khwaabon mein hi do din raho
Live in this dream for two days.
