| yeh world hai na world | Oh, this world... |
| is me.n do tarah ke log hote hai.n | there are two types of people in it. |
| ek jo saarii zi.ndagii ek hii kaam karte rahate | One who spends his whole life doing the same old job; |
| aur duusre jo ek hii zi.ndagii me.n saare kaam kar dete | the other who crams all the world's jobs into a single life. |
| yeh mai.n nahii.n ye vo dono.n kahate the | It was those two who said this, not me. |
| aur kahate kahate karte the | And while they said it, they did things |
| aur aisa karte jaise na kisiine kiya aur shaayad na kar paaya | the like of which no one has ever done, nor perhaps could manage to. |
| chhoTe chhoTe shaharo.n se khaalii bor dopaharo.n se | From small towns, empty dawns and afternoons, |
| ham to jhola uTHaake chale | we picked up our bags and set off. |

| usii pe aage jaake apna makaan hoga | head straight up it, and there will be my house. |
