ye raaz-e-jindagi kya hai
hakikat hai ya hai sapna
khushiya to gai, na gam ab aa
na dil apna, na dard apna
ye raaz-e-jindagi kya hai
hakikat hai ya hai sapna
ye raaz-e-jindagi kya hai

kaha gaya bachpan mera
o runjhun, o runjhun
o runjhun runjhun ja
dhul dhare sab ang the
dhul dahi de dhaal
machal kar god me ma se
kahani chaand ki sunna
hakikat hai ya hai sapna
ye raaz-e-jindagi kya hai
hakikat hai ya hai sapna
ye raaz-e-jindagi kya hai

jaha me sabse aala hai
to hai mausam jawani ka
fida hai husn bhi jis par
vo hai aalam jawani ka
ke dam bharti hai dambhar ke liye
shabnam jawani ka
chiraago se nasha jaisa
suna hardam jawani ka
bahut mushkil hai, bahut mushkil hai
iski bedaag ki dahli se bach lena
hakikat hai ya hai sapna

ye raaz-e-jindagi kya hai
hakikat hai ya hai sapna
ye raaz-e-jindagi kya hai

ye raaz-e-jindagi kya hai
hakikat hai ya hai sapna
khushiya to gai, na gam ab aa
na dil apna, na dard apna
