bas ek saja hi to hai jindagi
bas ek saja hi to hai jindagi
koi ro ro ke kate koi haske gujare
ek saja hi to hai jindagi
bas ek saja hi to hai jindagi

ho tere hatho ka banaya hua ye jail hai
tere apne hi karmo ka ye khel hai
tere apne hi karmo ka ye khel hai
chahe isko bigade chahe isko saware
ik saja hi to hai jindagi
bas ik saja hi to hai jindagi

khel ban ban ke dekhe bigadte yaha
aur mil mil ke dekhe bichadte yaha
kayi jhuthe bhi jeete kayi sache bhi haye
ek saja hi to hai jindagi
bas ek saja hi to hai jindagi

jinko samjha tha apna daga de gaye
aag dil me lagake hawa de gaye
jinko samjha tha apna daga de gaye
aag dil me lagake hawa de gaye
hue ab wo paraye the ek din jo hamare
ek saja hi to hai jindagi
koi ro ro ke kate koi haske gujare
ek saja hi to hai jindagi
bas ek saja hi to hai jindagi

Life, but a sentence, is it not?
Life, but a sentence, is it not?
Some weep through thorns, some laugh it through,
Life, but a sentence, is it not?
Life, but a sentence, is it not?

This prison built by your own hand,
A game of karma, you understand.
A game of karma, you understand.
You may mar it, you may mend,
Life, but a sentence, is it not?
Life, but a sentence, is it not?

Games unfolding, crumbling here,
Meetings, partings, drawing near.
Many false ones thrive, the true ones sigh,
Life, but a sentence, is it not?
Life, but a sentence, is it not?

Those you claimed as yours, betrayed you so,
Set fire to the heart, then let the breezes blow.
Those you claimed as yours, betrayed you so,
Set fire to the heart, then let the breezes blow.
Now strangers, once they were ours,
Life, but a sentence, is it not?
Some weep through thorns, some laugh it through,
Life, but a sentence, is it not?
Life, but a sentence, is it not?
