Aage bhee jaane naa too
peechhe bhee jaane naa too
Jo bhee hai bas yahi ek pal hai.
Anjaane saayo kaa raaho me ḍeraa hai
Andekhee baaho ne ham sab ko gheraa hai
Ye pal ujaalaa hai, baakee andheraa hai
Ye pal gavaanaa naa, ye pal hee teraa hai
Jeene vaale soch le, yahee vakt hai kar le pooree aarazoo
Is pal ke jalavo ne, mehefil savaaree hai
Is pal kee garme ne dhaṛkan ubhaaree hai
Is pal se hone se, duniyaa hamaaree hai
Ye pal jo dekho to, sadiyo pe bhaaree hai
Jeene vaale soch le, yahee vakt hai kar le pooree aarazoo
Is pal ke saaye me apna ṭhikaanaa hai
Is pal ke aage phir har shay fasaanaa hai
Kal kis ne dekhaa hai, kal kis ne jaanaa hai
Is pal se paayegaa, jo tujh ko paanaa hai
Jeene vaale soch le, yahee vakt hai kar le pooree aarazoo
You may not know what is ahead of you, and you may not know what lies behind you. Know however that what is here now is only this one moment.
Unknown shadows gather on paths ahead and unknown arms have embraced us. But this present moment is shining with light while everything else is darkness. Do not waste this moment; only this moment is yours. Think quickly, O living soul: this is the time to fulfill all your desires.
The moment’s passion has graced this gathering and this moment’s warmth has accelerated our heartbeats. The world is ours because of this present moment’s existence. Examine this moment, for its grandeur, is to be remembered for centuries. Think fast, oh living soul: this is the time to fulfill all your desires.
One’s destination can be seen within the shadows of this moment. Ahead of this moment, all objects become stories of fantasy. Who has seen tomorrow? Who has known tomorrow? From this moment, you shall receive all that you are due. Think fast, oh living soul: this is the time to fulfill all your desires.
Asha Bhosle; Movie: Waqt 1975
