jeevan been madhur na baaje
jhoote pad gaye taar
bigde kaath se kaam bane kya
megh baje na malhaar
bigde kaath se kaam bane kya
megh baje na malhaar

pancham chhedo madhyam bole
kharaj bane gandhaar
pancham chhedo madhyam bole
kharaj bane gandhaar
been ke jhoote pad gaye taar

jeevan been madhur na baaje
jhoote pad gaye taar
been ke jhoote pad gaye taar

in taaro ko kholo
in tarbho ko phenko phenko
uttam taar nayi tarbhe ho
tab ho naya shringaar

is tarbhe se jo sur bole
goonj uthe sansaar
been ke jhoote pad gaye taar
jeevan been madhur na baaje
jhoote pad gaye taar
been ke jhoote pad gaye taar

bajne ko hai goonj nagaada
hona hai sab se chhutkara
bajne ko hai goonj nagaada
hona hai sab se chhutkara

apna jo hai use samajh lo
wah bhi nahi hamara
apna jo hai use samajh lo
wah bhi nahi hamara
