Khushiya.n aur ghum sehte hai
Phir bhi ye chup rehati hai,
Abtak kisi ne na jaana,
Zindagi kya
Kehti hai
Apni khabhi to khabhi ajanebi,
Aasoo.n khabhi to khabhi hai hasi.n, Darr ya khabhi to khabhi tishnegi
Lageti hai ye to,
Khushiya.n aur ghum sehte hai
Phir bhi ye chup rehati hai,
Abtak kisi ne na jaana,
Zindagi kya
Kehti hai.
Khamoshiyo.n ki dheemee sada hai,
Ye zindagi to rab ki duaa hai,
Chud ke kisi ne isko dekha khabhi na,
Ehsaas ki hai khushbhoo mehki hawa hai.
Khushiya.n aur ghum sehte hai
Phir bhi ye chup rehati hai,
Abtak kisi ne na jaana,
Zindegi kya
Kehti hai.
Aha ha ha haa mm mm mm mmm
Mann se kaho.n tum,
Mann ki suno tum,
Mann meet koi mann ka suno tum,
Kuch bhi kahegi duniya,
Duniya ki chudo.
Palko mei.n sajaake jhilmil,
Sapane bano.n tum.
Khushiya.n aur ghum sehte hai
Phir bhi ye chup rehati hai,
Abtak kisi ne na jaana,
Zindegi kya
Kehti hai.
Apni khabhi to khabhi ajanebi,
Aasoo.n khabhi to khabhi hai hasi,
Darr ya khabhi to khabhi tishnegi
Lageti hai ye to.
Khushiya.n aur ghum sehte hai,
Phir bhi ye chup rehati hai,
Abtak kisi ne na jaana,
Zindegi kya
Kehti hai.

Overall Meaning:
The lyrics of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Mera Gham Aur Khushi are about the enigma that life is, with its many highs and lows. The first stanza talks about how even though life experiences both happiness and sorrow, it still remains silent and a mystery to everyone. The second stanza delves deeper into this mystery, talking about how life is sometimes familiar, sometimes a stranger, and how it can evoke tears, laughter, or even fear. However, life's true meaning and purpose remain unknown and unheard of. The third stanza brings a message of hope, saying that even amidst the quietness of life, there is the sound of prayer and that the essence of it can be felt like a fragrant breeze. The final stanza beautifully encourages listeners to dream and create whatever they want for themselves, as long as they listen to their heart instead of the world's opinions.
The song's lyrics may seem simple enough, but it has a deep philosophical meaning about how life can be a confusing ride, and yet hope and dreams should never be abandoned. The melody, combined with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's soulful voice, elevates the emotions embedded in the song.
