zindagi ittafaaq hai
zindagi ittafaaq hai
kal bhi ittafaaq thi
aaj bhi ittafaaq hai
zindagi ittafaaq hai

jaam pakad badha ke haath
maang dua ghate na raat
jaan-e-vafa teri qasam
kahte hai dil ki baat ham
gar koyi mel ho sake
aankho ka khel ho sake
apne ko khush nasib jaan
vaqt ko meharabaan maan
milte hai dil kabhi-kabhi
varna hai ajnabi sabhi
mere hamdam, mere meharabaan
har khushi ittafaaq hai
har khushi ittafaaq hai
kal bhi ittafaaq thi
aaj bhi ittafaaq hai
zindagi ittafaaq hai

husn hai aur shabaab hai
zindagi kamayaab hai
bazm yun hi khili rahe
apani nazar mili rahe
rang yun hi jamaa rahe
vaqt yu hi thama rahe
saaz ki lay pe jhum le
zulf ke kham ko chum le
mere kiye se kuchh nahi
tere kiye se kuchh nahi
mere hamdam, mere meharabaan
ye sabhi ittafaaq hai
ye sabhi ittafaaq hai
kal bhi ittafaaq thi
aaj bhi ittafaaq hai
zindagi ittafaaq hai
zindagi ittafaaq hai

Life is but a chance,
Life is but a chance,
Yesterday a chance it was,
And today, a chance it is.
Life is but a chance.

Raise your hand, grasp the cup,
Pray the night won't seep up.
O soul of faith, I swear to you,
The heart's true words we pursue.
If a meeting can be,
If eyes can agree,
Consider yourself blessed,
Time, be kind, be addressed.
Hearts meet rarely,
Else, strangers entirely.
My companion, my gracious one,
Every joy, a chance begun,
Every joy, a chance begun.
Yesterday a chance it was,
And today, a chance it is.
Life is but a chance.

Beauty is here, youth in its prime,
Life's a success, sublime.
May this gathering bloom,
Our gazes consume.
May colors forever gleam,
May time forever dream.
Dance to the music's sway,
Kiss the tresses that play.
Nothing is by my hand,
Nor yours, understand.
My companion, my gracious one,
All of this, a chance spun,
All of this, a chance spun.
Yesterday a chance it was,
And today, a chance it is.
Life is but a chance,
Life is but a chance.
