##Kishore version##

chhoTii-sii ye duniyaa, pahachaane raaste hai.n 
tum kabhii to miloge, kahii.n to miloge, to puuchhe.nge haal 
chhoTii-sii ye duniyaa ...

ham to ye samajhe.nge hamane ek patthar ko puujaa 
lekin tumako apane jaisaa nahii.n milegaa duujaa, nahii.n milegaa duujaa 
chhoTii-sii ye duniyaa ...

siikhaa nahii.n hamaare dil ne pyaar me.n dhiiraj khonaa 
aag me.n jalake bhii jo nikhaare, hai vahii sachchaa sonaa, hai vahii sachchaa sonaa 
chhoTii-sii ye duniyaa ...

dil kii daulat mat Thukaraao, dekho pachhataaoge
aaj chale jaate ho jaise, lauT ke bhii aaoge, lauT ke bhii aaoge 
chhoTii-sii ye duniyaa ...
