muskurane ke bahane dhundhti hai zindagi
muskurane ke bahane dhundhti hai zindagi
har ghadi mausam suhane dhundhti hai zindagi
muskurane ke bahane dhundhti hai zindagi
thapkiya maa ki meri neend me shamil hai abhi
thapkiya maa ki meri neend me shamil hai abhi
yaado ke kitne khazane dhundhti hai zindagi
yaado ke kitne khazane dhundhti hai zindagi
har ghadi mausam suhane dhundhti hai zindagi
muskurane ke bahane dhundhti hai zindagi

wakt ne khul ke sunae nahi abtak ho kabhi
wakt ne khul ke sunae nahi abtak ho kabhi
mahke mahke wo tarane dhundhti hai zindagi
mahke mahke wo tarane dhundhti hai zindagi
har ghadi mausam suhane dhundhti hai zindagi
muskurane ke bahane dhundhti hai zindagi
janti hai ke kabhi laut ke aaynge nahi
janti hai ke kabhi laut ke aaynge nahi
fir bhi wo guzre zamane dhundhti hai zindagi
fir bhi wo guzre zamane dhundhti hai zindagi
har ghadi mausam suhane dhundhti hai zindagi
muskurane ke bahane dhundhti hai zindagi

surk joda bhi nahi mang me sindur nahi

aaj kyu rishte purane dhundhti hai zindagi
aaj kyu rishte purane dhundhti hai zindagi
har ghadi mausam suhane dhundhti hai zindagi
muskurane ke bahane dhundhti hai zindagi

Life, she seeks excuses to smile,
Life, she seeks excuses to smile,
Each moment, a pleasant season she'll beguile,
Life, she seeks excuses to smile.

Mother's lullabies still in my sleep reside,
Mother's lullabies still in my sleep reside,
Memories' treasures, where does she hide?
Memories' treasures, where does she confide?
Each moment, a pleasant season she'll beguile,
Life, she seeks excuses to smile.

Time, it has secrets it has yet to impart,
Time, it has secrets it has yet to impart,
Fragrant melodies that still touch the heart,
Fragrant melodies that still play their part,
Each moment, a pleasant season she'll beguile,
Life, she seeks excuses to smile.

Knowing they'll never return, she understands,
Knowing they'll never return, she understands,
Yet, she seeks the past's forgotten lands,
Yet, she seeks the past's forgotten sands,
Each moment, a pleasant season she'll beguile,
Life, she seeks excuses to smile.

No crimson dress, nor vermilion in the hair,
No crimson dress, nor vermilion in the hair,
Why does she seek connections beyond compare?
Why does she seek connections beyond repair?
Each moment, a pleasant season she'll beguile,
Life, she seeks excuses to smile.
