Zindagi Kyaa Hai Gam Kaa Dariyaa Hai - ज़िन्दगी क्या है ग़म का दरिया है
Lyrics of Zindagi Kyaa Hai Gam Kaa Dariyaa Hai - ज़िन्दगी क्या है ग़म का दरिया है
zindagi kya hai gam ka dariya hai
na jina yahan bas me na marna
yahan bas me ajab duniya hai
zindagi kya hai

hay re vo insan ke jisko gam
ki nazar lag jaye
chupake chupake ahe bhare aur
munh se na kuchh kah paye
dil apana hansta hai khud
par aur kabhi rota hai
aur kabhi rota hai zindagi kya hai

jhuthi hai duniya ki bahare
rang hai sare kacche
vaqt pade to tham le daman
phul se kante acche
is gulashan me kadam kadam
par ek naya dhokha hai naya dhokha hai
zindagi kya hai gam ka dariya hai
na jina yahan bas me na marna
yahan bas me

jab insan akela tha to
dukh bhi na the jivan me
jab insan akela tha to
dukh bhi na the jivan me
paya jab ham rahi usne
dub gaya uljhan me
ye duniya hai begano ki
kaun yahan apna hai yahan apna hai
zindagi kya hai gam ka dariya hai
na jina yahan bas me na marna
yahan bas me ajab duniya hai
zindagi kya hai

jitna apne gam ko bhulana chahta hai insan
jitna apne gam ko bhulana chahta hai insan
utna hi badta hai gam ka sine me tufan
na koi manjil hai dil ki
na koi rasta hai rasta hai
zindagi kya hai gam ka dariya hai
na jina yahan bas me na marna
yahan bas me ajab duniya hai
zindagi kya hai
lyrics of song Zindagi Kyaa Hai Gam Kaa Dariyaa Hai
Poetic Translation - Lyrics of Zindagi Kyaa Hai Gam Kaa Dariyaa Hai - ज़िन्दगी क्या है ग़म का दरिया है
Life, a river of sorrow's tide,
Neither to live, nor to die, is our own.
A world of wonders, where mysteries reside,
What is life?

Alas, the soul, where sorrow takes hold,
Whispers of sighs, secrets untold,
Silent the lips, the story kept deep,
The heart smiles at itself, then weeps in sleep.
And then it weeps. What is life?

False are the blooms of this world's display,
All colors fade, and quickly decay,
Should hardship strike, embrace the thorny stem,
For thorns are truer than flowers, for them.
In this garden, each step a hidden guise,
A new deception, before our eyes.
What is life? A river of sorrow's tide,
Neither to live, nor to die, is our own.
A world of wonders.

When alone, no sorrows did we know,
When alone, no sorrows did we sow.
But when companions were found along the way,
Lost in the maze of life's disarray.
This world, a stranger's domain.
Who here is kin, to ease the pain?
What is life? A river of sorrow's tide,
Neither to live, nor to die, is our own.
A world of wonders.

The more one tries to forget their pain,
The more the storm of sorrow will reign.
No destination, for the heart's quest,
No path to follow, no place to rest.
What is life? A river of sorrow's tide,
Neither to live, nor to die, is our own.
A world of wonders, where mysteries reside,
What is life?

Hello again Yuan. One more thing. This is not Ravi's style of music. He took it from Shankar Jaikishan. Such high pitch songs with huge orchestra's was SJ's forte. Ravi also used SJ style in film Dus Lakh's song "Aa lag ja gale dilruba". And I think to myself, what a wonderful worrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrld!

Hello Yuan and thank you. Well written by Shakeel Badayuni. Not filmed on the right person but a nice song . Music for this film was by Ravi. Full credit goes to Rafi for raising his vocal chords higher than The Himalayas. I believe K2 peaks higher than The Himalayas but that's a different story.

Well said Mr Prabhakara rao , I equally felt the same and I endorse all
your views on the song. I repeatedly hear a number of times but my thurust
did not suffice and my urge for hearing the song remained unsaturted. I
just correct your impression that the music director for the song is Ravi
but not Shankar Jaikisan. Ravi's depth of melody in composing music are
wonderful and par excellent. I wonder for his imaginative talent.
