| Aye bhai zara dekhke chalo |
Hey brother, look and walk |
| Aage hi nahi peeche bhi |
Not only front but behind as well |
| Daayen hi nahi baayen bhi |
Not only right but left as well |
| Upar hi nahi neeche bhi |
Not only up but down as well |
| Aye bhai |
Hey brother |
| Aye bhai zara dekhke chalo |
Hey brother, look and walk |
| Aage hi nahi peeche bhi |
Not only front but behind as well |
| Daayen hi nahi baayen bhi |
Not only right but left as well |
| Upar hi nahi neeche bhi |
Not only up but down as well |
| Aye bhai |
Hey brother |
|
|
| Tu jahan aaya hai woh tera |
Where you've come |
| Ghar nahi, gali nahi |
It's not your house nor street |
| Gaanv nahi, koocha nahi |
It's not your village nor corner |
| Basti nahi, rasta nahi |
It's not your colony nor lane |
| Duniya hai |
It's the world |
| Aur pyaare duniya yeh circus hai |
And my friend this world is a circus |
| Aur circus mein |
And in this circus |
| Bade ko bhi, chote ko bhi |
Even a big person and a small person |
| Khare ko bhi, khote ko bhi |
Even a honest person and a bad person |
| Duble ko bhi, mote ko bhi |
Even a thin person and a fat person |
| Neeche se upar ko, upar se neeche ko |
From top to down and down to top |
| Aana jana padta hai |
Everyone has to come and go |
| Aur ringmaster ke kode par |
And on the whip of the ringmaster |
| Thoda joh bhookh hai |
With a little bit of hunger |
| Thoda joh paisa hai |
With a little bit of money |
| Thoda joh kismat hai |
With a little bit of luck |
| Tarah tarah naachke dikhana yahan padta hai |
Here you have to dance with variety |
| Baar baar rona aur gaana yahan padta hai |
Here you have to cry and sing multiple times |
| Hero se |
From a hero |
| Hero se joker ban jana padta hai |
From a hero you have to become a joker |
| Aye bhai |
Hey brother |
|
|
| Girne se darta hai kyun |
Why are you scared of falling |
| Marne se darta hai kyun |
Why are you scared of dying |
| Thokar tu jab tak na khayega |
Until you don't stumble |
| Paas kisi gham ko na jab tak bulayega |
Until you don't call any sorrow close to you |
| Zindagi hai cheez kya nahi jaan payega |
You won't understand what life is |
| Rota hua aaya hai, rota chala jayega |
You came crying and you'll leave crying |
| Aye bhai |
Hey brother |
|
|
| Aye bhai zara dekhke chalo |
Hey brother, look and walk |
| Aage hi nahi peeche bhi |
Not only front but behind as well |
| Daayen hi nahi baayen bhi |
Not only right but left as well |
| Upar hi nahi neeche bhi |
Not only up but down as well |
| Aye bhai |
Hey brother |
| Aye bhai zara dekhke chalo |
Hey brother, look and walk |
| Aage hi nahi peeche bhi |
Not only front but behind as well |
| Daayen hi nahi baayen bhi |
Not only right but left as well |
| Upar hi nahi neeche bhi |
Not only up but down as well |
| Aye bhai |
Hey brother |
|
|
| Kya hai karishma, kaisa khilvaad hai |
What magic is this, whay play is this |
| Janwar aadmi se zyada wafadaar hai |
An animal here is more loyal than a human |
| Khata hai koda bhi |
Even though he goes through whips |
| Rehta hai bhookha bhi |
Even though he stays hungry |
| Phir bhi woh maalik pe karta nahi vaar hai |
But still he doesn't attack his master |
| Aur insaan yeh |
And when it comes to humans |
| Maal jiska khata hai |
Whose food they eat |
| Pyar jisse paata hai |
Whom they get love from |
| Geet jiske gaata hai |
Whose songs they sing |
| Uske hi seene mein bhokta kataar hai |
They stab a knife in their body |
| Kahiye shrimaan aapka kya vichaar hai |
Sir, what do you think about this |
| Maal jiska khata hai |
Whose food they eat |
| Pyar jisse paata hai |
Whom they get love from |
| Geet jiske gaata hai |
Whose songs they sing |
| Uske hi seene mein bhokta kataar hai |
They stab a knife in their body |
| Aye bhai |
Hey brother |
|
|
| Aye bhai zara dekhke chalo |
Hey brother, look and walk |
| Aage hi nahi peeche bhi |
Not only front but behind as well |
| Daayen hi nahi baayen bhi |
Not only right but left as well |
| Upar hi nahi neeche bhi |
Not only up but down as well |
| Aye bhai |
Hey brother |

| Circus ... ha ha ha |
Circus ... ha ha ha |
| Haan babu yeh circus hai |
Yes sir, this is a circus |
| Aur circus hai show teen ghante ka |
And the show of circus is of three hours |
| Pehla ghanta bachpan hai |
The first hour is about childhood |
| Doosra jawaani hai |
The second hour is about youth |
| Teesra budhapa hai |
The third hour is about old age |
| Aur uske baad |
And after that |
| Maa nahi, baap nahi |
There is no mother or father |
| Beta nahi, beti nahi |
There is no son or daughter |
| Tu nahi, main nahi |
There is no you or me |
| Yeh nahi, woh nahi |
There is no this or that |
| Kuch bhi nahi |
There is nothing |
| Kuch bhi nahi rehta hai |
There is nothing left |
| Rehta hai joh kuch woh |
Whatever is left |
| Khali khali kursiyan hai |
Are the empty chairs |
| Khali khali tambu hai |
Is the empty tent |
| Khali khali ghera hai |
Is the empty canvas |
| Bina chidiya ka basera hai |
It's a nest without a bird |
| Na tera hai, na mera hai |
It's neither yours nor mine |
|
