Music: Kalyanji-Anandji
Lyrics: Vishweshwar Sharma
Philosophical/Didactic song of Rafi about guilt and when sadness of ups and downs of life spurs one to a drastic change of life: Zindagee naam hai...
Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Urdu/Hindi Lyrics:
Jaane kaun, hawaa ka jho.nkaa, Jeevan yahaa.n badal jaaye,
WHO KNOWS WHICH WHIFF OF WIND WILL CHANGE THE LIFE,
Jaane kab koee hatyaara, Walmiki, bann jaaye....
WHO KNOWS WHEN SOME MURDERER WILL BECOME A SAINT!!!
Chorus: aaa, aaa, aaa, aaa, aaaa,
Zindagee naam hai, waqt kee maar kaa,
LIFE IS THE TERM FOR BATTERING BY THE TIME!
Zindagee naam hai, waqt kee maar kaa,
LIFE IS THE TERM FOR BATTERING BY THE TIME!
Ek din jeet kaa, ek din haar kaa,
A DAY TO WIN, A DAY TO LOSE,
Chorus: ek din jeet kaa, ek din haar kaa,
A DAY TO WIN, A DAY TO LOSE,
Zindagee naam hai, waqt kee maar kaa....
LIFE IS THE TERM FOR BATTERING BY THE TIME!
Raah sachchaee kee, mushkilo.n se bharee,
THE COURSE OF TRUTH IS FULL OF HARDSHIPS,
Warna saahas rukaa, aur naa himmat Daree,
OTHERWISE, NEVER THE DARING FALTERED; NOR THE COURAGE WAS EVER SCARED,
Yoo.n hee tap kar kabhee paap jal jaye.nge,
IN THE HEAT OF THE PAIN THUS THE SINS WILL BURN AWAY,
Pehle kaa.nte toh chun, phool mil jaayenge,
PICK UP THE THORNS FIRST, THE FLOWERS YOU’LL WILL FIND,
Raastaa hai yahee~~~,
‘TIS THE ONLY WAY...
Raastaa hai yahee tere, udhdhaar kaa,
‘TIS THE ONLY WAY TO YOUR SALVATION,
Ek din jeet kaa, ek din haar kaa,
A DAY TO WIN, A DAY TO LOSE,
Chorus: ek din jeet kaa, ek din haar kaa,
A DAY TO WIN, A DAY TO LOSE,
Zindagee naam hai, waqt kee maar kaa....
LIFE IS THE TERM FOR BATTERING BY THE TIME!
Dard se jo mile, voh khushee hai teree,
WHAT YOU GET THROUGH PAIN, THAT’S YOUR HAPPINESS,
aa.nsuuo.n se khile, voh ha.nsee hai teree,
WHAT BLOSSOMS THROUGH THE TEARS, THAT’S YOUR LAUGHTER,
dekh mausam nayaa rang laane lagaa,
LOOK! THE WEATHER HAS BEGUN TO BRING NEW HUES,
phool khilne lage, waqt gaane lagaa,
THE FLOWERS HAVE BEGUN TO BLOSSOM, THE TIME HAS STARTED SINGING,
roop hogaa nayaa~~
THERE’LL BE A NEW SHAPE...
roop hogaa nayaa, tere sansaar kaa,
THERE’LL BE A NEW SHAPE OF YOUR WORLD,
ek din jeet kaa, ek din haar kaa,
A DAY TO WIN, A DAY TO LOSE,
chorus: ek din jeet kaa, ek din haar kaa,
A DAY TO WIN, A DAY TO LOSE,
zindagee naam hai, waqt kee maar kaa.
LIFE IS THE TERM FOR BATTERING BY THE TIME!
NASIR.
There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion”
