ek pal jaye ek pal aaye waqt yun chalta hai
umeed leke roz naya suraj nikalta hai
ek pal jaye ek pal aaye waqt yun chalta hai
umeed leke roz naya suraj nikalta hai

zindagi har lamha hai khushi kar isse dosti oh yara ve
zindagi har lamha he khushi kar isse dosti oh yara ve
har kadam pe kayi khwaishein hai nayi
har kadam pe nayi roshini oh yara ve oh yara ve

oh yara ve oh yara ve zindagi har lamha he khushi
kar isse dosti oh yara ve
udd ja hawaon mein azaad hoke
rukna kabhi bhi tu na kisi ke bhi roke

bharle tu baahon mein sare aasman ko
gale se laga le yaara sare jahan ko
sapno ka jahan khushiyon ka sama
tera dekh raha rasta

anjani dagar anjana safar hai jana kaha na pata
phir bhi tu chalta ja karke ye honsla
manzilo ki nahi hain kami
oh yara ve oh yara ve
oh yara ve oh yara ve

chao hain kabhi kabhi hai dhoop zindagi
badale na jane kitne roop zindagi
kabhi ye hasati hai kabhi hai rulati ye
jeene ki adayein aksar hume hai sikhati ye

masti ki lehar ban shaam seher bas tu yuhi behata ja
jo dil chahe wahi chun raahe tera jeevan hai tera
apni sharton pe jee har ghadi zindagi
sab karenge teri bandagi

oh yara ve oh yara ve oh yara ve oh yara ve
zindagi har lamha he khushi kar isse dosti oh yara ve
zindagi har lamha hai khushi kar isse dosti oh yara ve
har kadam pe kayi khwaishein he nayi

har kadam pe nayi roshini
oh yara ve oh yara ve
oh yara ve oh yara ve

A moment departs, a moment arrives,
Thus time unfurls its wings,
Hope in tow, a new sun daily thrives.
A moment departs, a moment arrives,
Thus time unfurls its wings,
Hope in tow, a new sun daily thrives.

Life, in each breath, is joy's embrace,
Befriend it now, Oh friend of mine,
Life, in each breath, is joy's embrace,
Befriend it now, Oh friend of mine,
At every step, desires anew,
At every step, a light so true,
Oh friend of mine, oh friend of mine,
Oh friend of mine, oh friend of mine,
Life, in each breath, is joy's embrace,
Befriend it now, Oh friend of mine.

Soar in the winds, in freedom's flight,
Never falter, held back by no one's might,
Embrace with your arms the endless sky,
Embrace with your heart the world nearby,
A realm of dreams, a gathering of glee,
Awaits your path, you see,
An unknown trail, an unknown quest,
Where you're bound, you've yet to guess,
Yet still you journey, with courage bold,
Destinations abound, stories to be told,
Oh friend of mine, oh friend of mine,
Oh friend of mine, oh friend of mine.

Shadows appear, then sun's bright gleam,
Life's face shifts, a vibrant stream,
Sometimes it laughs, sometimes it weeps,
Life's ways teach us, secrets it keeps,
As a wave of joy, from dusk till dawn,
Flow onward, never withdrawn,
Choose what your heart desires to own,
Your life, your path, and yours alone,
Live each moment, on your own terms,
All will follow, as your spirit affirms,
Oh friend of mine, oh friend of mine,
Oh friend of mine, oh friend of mine,
Life, in each breath, is joy's embrace,
Befriend it now, Oh friend of mine,
Life, in each breath, is joy's embrace,
Befriend it now, Oh friend of mine.

At every step, desires anew,
At every step, a light so true,
Oh friend of mine, oh friend of mine,
Oh friend of mine, oh friend of mine.
