hosh rehta hai yu jawani mein, jawani mein
hosh rehta hai yu jawani mein
hosh rehta hai yu jawani mein
jawani mein, jawani mein, jawani mein
jaise kaagaz ki naav paani mein
jaise kaagaz ki naav paani mein
hosh rehta hai yu jawani mein
hosh rehta hai yu jawani mein
jawani mein, jawani mein, jawani mein
jaise kaagaz ki naav paani mein
jaise kaagaz ki naav paani mein

hosh madhosh hai jawani ka
josh khamosh hai jawani ka
mausamo ki tarah badal jaaye
kabhi bahke, kabhi sambhal jaaye
iska rasta na koyi manjil hai
iska tufan na koyi saahil hai
yu machalti hai zindgani mein
jaise kaagaz ki naav paani mein
jaise kaagaz ki naav paani mein

kya ajab cheej hai jawani bhi
chhod jaati nahi nishani bhi
dekhte dekhte chali jaaye
ye kabhi laut kar nahi aaye
umar bhar saath ye nahi rehti
kuch nahi sunti, kuch nahi kehti
yu rahe dil ki rajdhani mein
jaise kaagaz ki naav paani mein
jaise kaagaz ki naav paani mein
hosh rehta hai yu jawani mein
hosh rehta hai yu jawani mein
jawani mein, jawani mein, jawani mein
jaise kaagaz ki naav paani mein
jaise kaagaz ki naav paani mein
jaise kaagaz ki naav paani mein
jaise kaagaz ki naav paani mein

Awareness lingers in youth's bright hour,
Awareness lingers in youth's bright hour.
Awareness lingers in youth's bright hour,
Youth's bright hour, youth's bright hour, youth's bright hour,
Like paper boats upon the watery power,
Like paper boats upon the watery power.
Awareness lingers in youth's bright hour,
Awareness lingers in youth's bright hour,
Youth's bright hour, youth's bright hour, youth's bright hour,
Like paper boats upon the watery power,
Like paper boats upon the watery power.

Intoxication of youth's command,
Passion hushed within this shifting sand.
Like seasons, changing in the breeze,
Sometimes lost, sometimes finding ease.
No destination marks its way,
No shore to which it longs to stray.
It dances in life's vibrant play,
Like paper boats upon the watery way,
Like paper boats upon the watery way.

What strange wonder, this youth we claim,
Leaving no trace, just fading flame.
Before our eyes, it slips away,
Never to return, not for a day.
Forever lost, it cannot stay,
Unhearing, silent, come what may,
It reigns within the heart's domain,
Like paper boats upon the watery plain,
Like paper boats upon the watery plain.
Awareness lingers in youth's bright hour,
Awareness lingers in youth's bright hour,
Youth's bright hour, youth's bright hour, youth's bright hour,
Like paper boats upon the watery power,
Like paper boats upon the watery power,
Like paper boats upon the watery power,
Like paper boats upon the watery power.
