jeevan beet chala
jeevan beet chala

jeevan beet chala
jeevan beet chala
jeevan beet chala
jeevan beet chala
jeevan beet chala
jeevan beet chala

kal kal karte aaj
haath se nikle sare
bhoot bhavishyat ki chinta mein
vartaman ki baji hare
pehra koi kaam na aaya
rasghat reet chala
jeevan beet chala
jeevan beet chala
jeevan beet chala
jeevan beet chala
jeevan beet chala

hani-labh ke paldo mein
tulta jeevan vayapar ho gaya
maul laga bikne wale ka
bina bika bekar ho gaya
mujhe haat mein chhod akela
ek ek kar meet chala
jeevan beet chala
jeevan beet chala
jeevan beet chala
jeevan beet chala
jeevan beet chala

Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away.

Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away.

Like yesterdays that flow to now,
Days slip through the hand so fast,
In shadows cast by what will be,
The present’s game is unsurpassed.
No watch can hold the fleeting hour,
The vessel empties, time will cast,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away.

In scales of loss and gain,
The soul's exchange, a weary trade,
The price is set for every heart,
Unsold, it withers, unafraid.
The market leaves me desolate,
Each friend departs, a fading shade,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away,
Life ebbs away.
