choti si hai ye zindagi pal me gam pal me khushi
choti si hai ye zindagi pal me gam pal me khushi
haste gate chalte jana jiwan ki raho me
choti si hai ye zindagi pal me gam pal me khushi
haste gate chalte jana jiwan ki raho me
choti si hai ye zindagi pal me gam pal me khushi

apne khwabo ki duniya yu hi basti rahe ruthe zamana to
ruthe tu hasti rahe apne khwabo ki duniya yu
hi basti rahe ruthe zamana to ruthe tu hasti rahe
mere humrahi mere sath hi chalna badle ye duniya tu na badalna
umar yu hi kate pyar ki baho me choti si hai ye zindagi
pal me gam pal me khushi

tu mere jigar ka tukda mera sona hai tu mere naino ka
sapna salona hai tu mere jigar ka tukda mera
sona hai tu mere naino ka sapna salona hai
mere pyare papa mujh baho me jhulana
mammy mujh mithi mithi lori
sunana sath chte na ye dhup me chao me
choti si hai ye zindagi pal me gam pal me khushi
haste gate chalte jana jiwan ki raho me

A life, a fleeting breath, tears and joy in its weave,
A life, a fleeting breath, tears and joy we receive.
Laughing, singing, journey forth on life's dusty track,
A life, a fleeting breath, tears and joy circle back.

Let the world of dreams forever flourish and bloom,
Let the world turn cold, yet your laughter consume.
Let your dream's embrace remain, though the world may stray,
Let them turn their faces, keep your smile in play.
My companion, walk beside me, though worlds may change and sway,
In love's embrace, let our years gently decay.
A life, a fleeting breath, tears and joy we know.

You, a piece of my heart, my golden gleam,
You, the dream in my eyes, a sweet, flowing stream.
You, a piece of my heart, my golden gleam,
You, the dream in my eyes, a sweet, flowing stream.
My dearest Papa, hold me in your arms,
Mommy, sing me sweet lullabies, cast away all harms.
Walk with me in sun and shadow, a constant, loving art,
A life, a fleeting breath, tears and joy in the heart.
Laughing, singing, journey forth on life's open start.
