zindagi kya hai
zindagi kya hai yado ki barat jakhmo ki barat
zindagi kya hai yado ki barat jakhmo ki barat
kuch dehke or kuch andekhe sapno ki barat
zindagi kya hai yado ki barat jakhmo ki barat

kon kaha par mil jaye or kon kaha kho jaye
kon kaha kho jaye
karwat badle waqt ye aise kya se kya ho jaye
kya se kya ho jaye
gum ke mod pe aakar thahre khushiyo ki barat
zindagi kya hai yado ki barat jakhmo ki barat

aisi bhi hoti hai dil me dard bhari kuch yade
dard bhari kuch yade
dil machale to ban jati hai hotho par fariyade
hotho par fariyade
or dunia ye samjhe ye hai nagmo ki barat
zindagi kya hai yado ki barat jakhmo ki barat
jakhmo ki barat, jakhmo ki barat

What is life?
A procession of memories, a parade of wounds,
What is life?
A procession of memories, a parade of wounds,
A parade of seen and unseen dreams,
What is life?
A procession of memories, a parade of wounds.

Who meets whom, where, and who is lost,
Who is lost?
Time turns, and the "what was" shifts to "what is,"
Shifts to "what is."
At grief's turning, joy's procession pauses,
What is life?
A procession of memories, a parade of wounds.

So deep, some memories carry heart-aching pain,
Heart-aching pain.
When the heart stirs, laments form on the lips,
Form on the lips.
And the world perceives this as a procession of songs,
What is life?
A procession of memories, a parade of wounds,
A parade of wounds, a parade of wounds.
