apna nahi par apna lage jane kaisa ye raz hai
haste hai lab rota hai dil
jine ka ye bhi andaz hai
girti sambhalti jhumti hasti ka nam jindagi hai
gum or khushi ke bich me
chalti ka nam jindagi hai

kya hai galat kya hai sahi
kaisa nasha ye kaisa gurur
joshe junun rishte khun
koi bataye kaise ho dur
jani anjani bhul ki galti ka nam jindagi hai
gum or khushi ke bich me
chalti ka nam jindagi hai

ladte hai kyu aapas me hum
nadani hai ye diwanapan
sohrat rahe na daulat rahegi
jayenge sab hi odhe kafan
patjhad me or bahar me
khilti ka nam jindagi hai
gum or khushi ke bich me
chalti ka nam jindagi hai

A stranger's touch, yet strangely known,
A secret whispered, barely shown.
Lips that laugh, a heart that weeps,
Such is the life the spirit keeps.
Falling, rising, swaying, bright,
To dance and laugh, is life's pure light.
'Twixt sorrow's shade and joy's embrace,
To journey on, is life's true grace.

What's wrong, what's right, a blurred facade?
What poison, what pride, what weight is cast?
Passion's fire, kinship's tie,
Tell me how to say goodbye.
The unknown mistakes, a fall to rue,
To stumble, learn, and then renew.
'Twixt sorrow's shade and joy's embrace,
To journey on, is life's true grace.

Why do we fight, a blinded state?
Foolishness, a darkened fate.
Fame and fortune, all shall cease,
In shrouds of white, we find release.
In autumn's hush, in spring's rebirth,
To bloom and grow, is life's true worth.
'Twixt sorrow's shade and joy's embrace,
To journey on, is life's true grace.
