khush rahe ya bahut udaas rahe
khush rahe ya bahut udas rahe
zindagi tere aaspaas rahe
khush rahe ya bahut udaas rahe
zindagi tere aaspaas rahe
khush rahe ya bahut udaas rahe

aaj hum sabke saath khub hanse
aaj hum sabke saath khub hanse
aur phir der tak udaas rahe
aur phir der tak udaas rahe
zindagi tere aaspaas rahe
khush rahe ya bahut udaas rahe

raat ke raaste bhi roshan ho
raat ke raaste bhi roshan ho
haath mein chaand ka gilaas rahe
haath mein chaand ka gilaas rahe

aadmi ke liye jaruri hai
aadmi ke liye jaruri hai
koi umeed, koi aas rahe
koi umeed, koi aas rahe
zindagi tere aaspaas rahe
khush rahe ya bahut udaas rahe
zindagi tere aaspaas rahe

Whether joy blooms or shadows fall deep,
Whether joy blooms or shadows fall deep,
Life, a river, near your sleep.

Life, a river, near your sleep.

Today, we laughed with all we knew,

Then lingered long, with tear-stained view.
Then lingered long, with tear-stained view.
Life, a river, near your sleep.
Whether joy blooms or shadows fall deep.

Even the night's paths must ignite,
Even the night's paths must ignite,
A moonlit glass, held in sight.
A moonlit glass, held in sight.

For humankind, a need so true,
For humankind, a need so true,
A fragile hope, a dream in view.
A fragile hope, a dream in view.
Life, a river, near your sleep.
Whether joy blooms or shadows fall deep,
Life, a river, near your sleep.
