zindagi hai kya bolo zindagi hai kya
zindagi hai kya bolo
zindagi hai lattu, zindagi hai lattu
chahe jahan nacha lo chahe jidhar ghuma lo
bhade ka jaise tattu lattu
zindagi hai lattu

zindagi hai ladaki, ladaki
zindagi hai ladaki
ladaki ka nam mat lo, kyo
usaka salam mat lo, kyo
ladaki banae kadaki ladaki
zindagi hai ladaki, zindagi hai ladaki
ladaki ka nam mat lo mat lo
usaka salam mat lo mat lo
ladaki banae kadaki

lattu nahi hai ladaki nahi hai, zindagi hai sachchai
mitti ki murat jab sach boli adami tab kahalai
adami hai kya bolo adami hai kya, adami hai kya

adami hai bandar
roti uthake bhage kapade churake bhage
kahalae vo sikandar bandar
adami hai bandar, adami hai bandar

adami hai charakha
are chun chun hamesha bole gho gho hamesha dole
rukate kabhi na dekha, dekha adami hai charakha
bandar nahi hai charakha nahi hai, adami ka kya kahana
pyar-mohabbat fitarat usaki dosti mazahab usaka
dosti hai kya bolo dosti hai kya
dosti hai kya bolo dosti hai kya

dosti hai motar are dosti hai motar
sab jisame ghumate hai, masti me jhumate hai
jab tak ki ho na pachar, dosti hai motar
dosti hai lassi uhun ahun
dosti hai lassi
oye pi lo zara na chhodo bhul se bhi na todo
jadu ki hai ye rassi, dosti hai rassi

lassi nahi hai rassi nahi hai
dosti dil ki dhadakan
dushmani sahara-sahara gar dosti gulashan-gulashan
dosti gulashan-gulashan
buappa, buappa, buappa
uhun ahun

What is life, tell me, what is life?
What is life, tell me?
Life is a spinning top, life is a spinning top,
Spin it where you will, turn it any way you choose,
A hired pony, a spinning top,
Life is a spinning top.
Life is a woman,
Woman,
Life is a woman.
Don't speak her name,
Why?
Don't greet her,
Why?
A woman brings ruin, a woman.
Life is a woman.
Don't speak her name,
Don't.
Don't greet her,
Don't.
A woman brings ruin.
Not a spinning top, not a woman,
Life is truth.
When the earthen image spoke truly, then was man named,
What is man, tell me, what is man?
What is man?

Man is a monkey,
Grabbing bread and fleeing, stealing clothes and fleeing,
Called Alexander, the monkey.
Man is a monkey.
Man is a spinning wheel,
Always chattering, always whining,
Never seen to stop,
Seen. Man is a spinning wheel.
Not a monkey, not a spinning wheel,
What to say of man?
Love and affection, his nature, friendship his faith,
What is friendship, tell me, what is friendship?
What is friendship?

Friendship is a motor, ah, friendship is a motor,
In which all travel,
Dancing with joy,
Until it gets a puncture.
Friendship is a motor.
Friendship is a lassi, uh, ah,
Friendship is a lassi,
Oh, drink it, don't leave it, don't break it even by mistake,
This is a magic rope.
Friendship is a juice.
Not a lassi, not a rope,
Friendship, the heart's beat.
Enmity, desert upon desert, if friendship, a garden upon garden,
Friendship a garden upon garden.
Buappa, Buappa, Buappa.
Uh, ah.
