ye zindagi bhi kya hai
jaise kisi bhule hue julam ki saza hai
ye zindagi bhi kya hai
jaise kisi bhule hue julam ki saza hai
ye zindagi bhi kya hai

sahmi hui sanso ki bejan sadaye hai
badhta hua tufan or tej hawaye hai
deep jal raha hai
ye zindagi bhi kya hai
jaise kisi bhule hue julam ki saza hai
ye zindagi bhi kya hai

is dor me jina to
har haal me mushkil hai
insan ki majburi insan ki khatir hai
maut bhi ek dua hai
ye zindagi bhi kya hai
jaise kisi bhule hue julam ki saza hai
ye zindagi bhi kya hai
ye zindagi bhi kya hai
jaise kisi bhule hue julam ki saza hai
ye zindagi bhi kya hai

What is this life, but this:
A sentence served for crimes long past,
What is this life?
What is this life, but this:

The whispers of breaths, now stilled and cold,
A tempest rising, winds that fiercely scold,
A lamp still burning bright.
What is this life, but this:
A sentence served for crimes long past,
What is this life?

To live within this thread,
A struggle in each and every guise,
Man's plight, for man's own sacrifice,
Even death, a prayer instead.
What is this life, but this:
A sentence served for crimes long past,
What is this life?
What is this life, but this:
A sentence served for crimes long past,
What is this life?
