kya re zindagi kya hai tu
arre kya re zindagi kya hai tu
teri carbon copy hoon main
ya mera aayina tu
kya re zindagi kya hai tu
arre kya re zindagi kya hai tu

maflar ki tarah lipti hai gale
gudgudi karti hai paao tale
chid-chidi si hai, nak chadhi si hai
munh lage hai tu
arre agle modd pe milna tu
arre kya re zindagi kya hai tu

haste haste yun bal pad jaate hai
saans ko aane de naa
sukhe patte saare jhad jaate hain
hosh to aane de naa
phuljhadi si hain, gulchhadi si hain
hathkadi hain tu
are ghum ke phir se milna tu

arre kya re zindagi kya hai tu
teri carbon copy hoon main
ya mera aayina tu

Oh, Life, what art thou?
Tell me, Life, what art thou?
Am I your carbon echo?
Or are you my looking glass?
Oh, Life, what art thou?
Tell me, Life, what art thou?

Wrapped around the neck, a scarf of sorts,
Tickling the soles, your playful sports.
Fretful, petulant, a frown upon your face,
Affection's embrace, you replace.
Meet me at the turn, await me there,
Tell me, Life, what art thou?

Laughter's lines etch deep, a joyous art,
Let the breath come, start.
Dry leaves descend, a letting go,
Let the senses flow.
A sparkler bright, a whimsical flare,
Shackles of despair.
Circle back, meet once more,
Tell me, Life, what art thou?

Oh, Life, what art thou?
Am I your carbon echo?
Or are you my looking glass?
