Sajan Re Jhooth-Lyrics & Translation

Lyrics

Sajan Re Jhooth Mat Bolo; Khuda Ke Paas Jaana Hai 

Na Haathi Hai Na Ghoda Hai, Wahan Paidal Hi Jana Hai 

Tumhare Mehel Chaubaare; Yahin Reh Jayenge Saare 

Akad Kis Baat Ki Pyaare; Yeh Sar Phir Bhi Jhukaana Hai 

Bhalaa Kije Bhalaa Hoga; Buraa Kije Buraa Hoga 

Bahi Likh-Likh Ke Kya Hoga; Yahin Sab Kuch Chukana Hai 

Ladakpan Khel Mein Khoya; Jawaani Neend Bhar Soya 

Budhaapa Dekhkar Roya; Wahi Kissa Purana Hai 

सजन रे झूठ मत बोलो, खुदा के पास जाना है 

ना हाथी है, ना घोड़ा है, वहा पैदल ही जाना है 

तुम्हारे महल चौबारे, यही रह जायेंगे सारे 

अकड़ किस बात की प्यारे, ये सर फिर भी झुकाना है 

भला किजे भला होगा, बुरा किजे बुरा होगा 

बही लिख लिख के क्या होगा, यही सबकुछ चुकाना है 

लड़कपन खेल में खोया, जवानी नींदभर सोया 

बुढ़ापा देखकर रोया, वही किस्सा पुराना है

Translation 

Never lie dear sir, before god you've to appear. 

Neither elephant or horse to carry you there, bare foot you've to travel there. 

Your mansions and manors shall remain all here. 

What do you pride in for dear, you're destined to surrender. 

Do good for good to occur, act badly and you suffer. 

Why scribe accounts of all matter, you shall repay all here.

Childhood you lost in pleasure, youth you slept unaware. 

In old age you weep over, its same old tale repeated over.

P.S:-  It is quite natural to mistake सजन or सज्जन implying gentleman as साजन - (sweetheart) 

In this song the word means gentleman and not sweetheart.
