aaj meri zindagi dekho khushi me jhumti
jane chali kaha, jane chali kaha
aaj ye meri zindagi dekho khushi me jhumti
jane chali kaha, jane chali kaha

tanah nahi chali hu mai dil bhi hai mera humsafar
gujri to hu idhar se mai phir bhi nayi hai rahgujar
tanah nahi chali hu mai dil bhi hai mera humsafar
gujri to hu idhar se mai phir bhi nayi hai rahgujar
zaro me bhi hai roshni leke tu mujhko aa gayi
aye zindagi kaha, aye zindagi kaha
aaj ye meri zindagi dekho khushi me jhumti
jane chali kaha, jane chali kaha

mujhko bula raha hai kyu dekho vo koi dur se
badhne lage mere kadam jiski taraf gurur se
mujhko bula raha hai kyu dekho vo koi dur se
badhne lage mere kadam jiski taraf gurur se
dil me bhi hai surur sa, aankho me bhi hai nur sa
shama jali kaha, shama jali kaha
aaj meri zindagi dekho khushi me jhumti
jane chali kaha, jane chali kaha

raho me meri phul hai taare meri nigah me
ab na mujhe pukarna dub chali hu chaah me
raho me meri phul hai taare meri nigah me
ab na mujhe pukarna dub chali hu chaah me
apna nahi hai kuch pata aye meri bekhudi bata
tu le chali kaha, tu le chali kaha
aaj ye meri zindagi dekho khushi me jhumti
jane chali kaha, jane chali kaha

Behold, my life now dances in delight,
Whither it journeys, whither it takes flight.
Behold, my life now dances in delight,
Whither it journeys, whither it takes flight.

No solitary trek, my heart, my constant guide,
Though this path known, a newness opens wide.
No solitary trek, my heart, my constant guide,
Though this path known, a newness opens wide.
In dust motes gleam a light, carried here by you,
Oh, Life, where leadest, oh, Life, where anew?
Behold, my life now dances in delight,
Whither it journeys, whither it takes flight.

Why beckons afar a call, I cannot name?
My steps now quicken, fueled by a rising flame.
Why beckons afar a call, I cannot name?
My steps now quicken, fueled by a rising flame.
My heart alight with bliss, my eyes with radiance bloom,
Where burns the candle, where fills the room?
Behold, my life now dances in delight,
Whither it journeys, whither it takes flight.

Flowers in my path, stars within my gaze,
Do not call to me, I'm lost in desire's maze.
Flowers in my path, stars within my gaze,
Do not call to me, I'm lost in desire's maze.
No sense of self remains, O my ecstasy, impart,
Where do you carry me, where does the heart?
Behold, my life now dances in delight,
Whither it journeys, whither it takes flight.
