mai nahi kahta bujurgo ne kaha hai
jo kaha hai wo bhi kitna sach kaha hai
jo kaha hai wo bhi kitna sach kaha hai
thak kar ruk jana inhe manjur nahi hai
unke liye koi bhi manzil dur nahi hai
thak kar ruk jana inhe manjur nahi hai
unke liye koi bhi manzil dur nahi hai
mai nahi kahta bujurgo ne kaha hai
jo kaha hai wo bhi kitna sach kaha hai

maut kab aayegi iska faisla
zindagi milne se pahle ho chuka
maut kab aayegi iska faisla
zindagi milne se pahle ho chuka
phir ye kaisa dar dilo me maut ka
kyu paresha ho rahe hai hum bhala
mai nahi kahta bujurgo ne kaha hai
jo kaha hai wo bhi kitna sach kaha hai
mai nahi kahti bujurgo ne kaha hai
jo kaha hai wo bhi kitna sach kaha hai

zindagi zindadili ka naam hai
maut ka charcha yaha hum kyu kare
zindagi zindadili ka naam hai
maut ka charcha yaha hum kyu kare
aisi bate jinpe apna bas nahi
kyu na unko hum khuda pe chod de
mai nahi kahti bujurgo ne kaha hai
jo kaha hai wo bhi kitna sach kaha hai
thak kar ruk jana inhe manjur nahi hai
unke liye koi bhi manzil dur nahi hai
mai nahi kahti bujurgo ne kaha hai
jo kaha hai wo bhi kitna sach kaha hai
mai nahi kahta bujurgo ne kaha hai
jo kaha hai wo bhi kitna sach kaha hai

I speak not, but the elders have,
And what they've said, how truly it rings.
That which they said, how truly it rings.
For those who refuse to surrender to weariness,
No destination remains afar.
For those who refuse to surrender to weariness,
No destination remains afar.
I speak not, but the elders have,
And what they've said, how truly it rings.

When death shall arrive, that decree,
Was made ere life's first dawn.
When death shall arrive, that decree,
Was made ere life's first dawn.
Then why this fear, within our hearts, of death?
Why are we troubled so?
I speak not, but the elders have,
And what they've said, how truly it rings.
I speak not, but the elders have,
And what they've said, how truly it rings.

Life, a name for vibrant hearts,
Why speak we here of death?
Life, a name for vibrant hearts,
Why speak we here of death?
Those matters that lie beyond our grasp,
Why not entrust them to the Divine?
I speak not, but the elders have,
And what they've said, how truly it rings.
For those who refuse to surrender to weariness,
No destination remains afar.
I speak not, but the elders have,
And what they've said, how truly it rings.
I speak not, but the elders have,
And what they've said, how truly it rings.
