Lyrics: Sajan Dehlvi
Music:  Shyamji-Ghanshyamji

Philosophical/Didactic song of Rafi: Yeh kyaa zindagee hai....
Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Urdu-Hindi Lyrics:

yeh kyaa zindagee hai, samajh me.n naa aaye,
WHAT’S THIS LIFE ! ‘TIS AN ENIGMA!

kabhee ro diye hamm, kabhee muskuraaye,
AT TIMES WE WEPT; SOMETIMES SMILED!

yeh kyaa zindagee hai, samajh me.n naa aaye,
WHAT’S THIS LIFE ! ‘TIS AN ENIGMA!

kabhee ro diye hamm, kabhee muskuraaye,
AT TIMES WE WEPT; SOMETIMES SMILED!

yeh kyaa zindagee hai..
WHAT’S THIS LIFE!

kahee.n dhoop gham kee, kahee.n sukh kee chhaayaa,
SOMEWHERE THE SORROWS’ SUN; SOMEWHERE THE SHADE OF COMFORT!

ajab raaz qudrat ka, jo khulne naa paayaa,
MYSTERIOUS NATURE’S SECRET UNREVEALED!

kahee.n dhoop gham kee, kahee.n sukh kee chhaayaa,
SOMEWHERE THE SORROWS’ SUN; SOMEWHERE THE SHADE OF COMFORT!

ajab raaz qudrat ka, jo khulne naa paayaa,
MYSTERIOUS NATURE’S SECRET UNREVEALED!

kisee ko Uthaaye, kisee ko giraaye,
ELEVATING SOMEONE; TRAMPLING SOMEONE!

kabhee ro diye hamm, kabhee muskuraaye,
AT TIMES WE WEPT; SOMETIMES SMILED!

yeh kyaa zindagee hai..
WHAT’S THIS LIFE!

hamaaraa zamaane me.n, lambaa safar hai,
OUR JOURNEY IN THIS WORLD IS LONG,

jahaa.n apnee manzil hai, us pe nazar hai,
WHERE LIES THE DESTINATION, THERE WE’VE OUR SIGHT,

hamaaraa zamaane me.n, lambaa safar hai,
OUR JOURNEY IN THIS WORLD IS LONG,

jahaa.n apnee manzil hai, us pe nazar hai,
WHERE LIES THE DESTINATION, THERE WE’VE OUR SIGHT,

ghamo.n ne bahot, hau.nsle, aazmaaye,        
THE SORROWS TESTED OUR COURAGE A LOT!

kabhee ro diye hamm, kabhee muskuraaye,
AT TIMES WE WEPT; SOMETIMES SMILED!

yeh kyaa zindagee hai..
WHAT’S THIS LIFE!

ummeedo.n ko manzil, dikhaake rahe.nge,
WE’LL LEAD THE HOPES TO THEIR GOAL, SURELY!

mohabbat jahaa.n ko, sikhaa ke rahe.nge,
WE’LL TEACH THE WORLD TO LOVE, CERTAINLY!

ummeedo.n ko manzil, dikhaake rahe.nge,
WE’LL LEAD THE HOPES TO THEIR GOAL, SURELY!

mohabbat jahaa.n ko, sikhaa ke rahe.nge,
WE’LL TEACH THE WORLD TO LOVE,  CERTAINLY!

naa hamm mushkilo.n me.n, kabhee Dagmagaaye,
IN TIMES OF DIFFICULTIES, WE NEVER WAVERED,

kabhee ro diye hamm, kabhee muskuraaye,
AT TIMES WE WEPT; SOMETIMES SMILED!

yeh kyaa zindagee hai, samajh me.n naa aaye,
WHAT’S THIS LIFE ! ‘TIS AN ENIGMA!

kabhee ro diye hamm, kabhee muskuraaye,
AT TIMES WE WEPT; SOMETIMES SMILED!

yeh kyaa zindagee hai..
WHAT’S THIS LIFE!
