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, yun 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 are the layers and shapes that involve life and living.
There is some sadness, there is some happiness, there is sunshine, there is shade – this is life.
Do not be caught up in thinking that you are winning or losing, instead, embrace whatever comes. This is called life. Do not be stubborn with it. Do not break every moment with your rigidity, life is very much like a mirror, reflecting what you are thinking. This is life.
Breath, happiness, and life cannot be bought with money, nor can the world guarantee them to you. No home can promise them and even the doors shut in your life cannot take them. They are tied to love from God. This bond would not break even if the world leaves you.
Piya Ka Ghar (1972); Kishore Kumar
