Ye jeevan hai is jeevan kaa
Yahee hai, yahee hai,
yahee hai rang roop
Thoṛe gam hai, thoṛee khushiyaȧ
Yahee hai, yahee hai,
Yahee hai chhaȧv dhoop
Ye jeevan hai…
Ye naa socho isme apnee
haar hai ke jeet hai
Use apnaa lo jo bhee
jeevan kee reet hai
Ye zid chhoṛo, yoo naa toṛo
Har pal ek darpan hai
Ye jeevan hai…
Dhan se naa duniyaa se
ghar se na dvaar se
Saȧsȯ kee ḍor badhee hai
preetam ke pyaar se
Duniyaa chhute, par naa ṭooṭe
Ye kaisaa badhan hai
Ye jeevan hai…
This is life. These feelings, these ups and downs, these things that shape and define our moods…these emotions—together make up this life.
Life will always have both happiness and sadness. There will always be sunshine. There will always be dark of night. Similarly, there will be both happiness and sadness. This is life.
Do not be overjoyed with success or overcome with defeat. Never get obsessed with winning and losing. Do not become stubborn with life. Let it flow… live it. Life is very much like a mirror, reflecting your thoughts and values. This is life—whatever you make it.
This world that we become crazy for cannot guarantee us life. The house we own cannot close its door to save us from death. Our wealth cannot even buy us breath. Only our beloved One ties our breaths together to make life possible. Not even death can break the bond with the beloved One.
Piya Ka Ghar (1972); Kishore Kumar
