jaane kahan leke jaaye zindagi
kaise khwaab dikhaaye zindagi
ban ke tera humsafar, main chala jaane kidher
zindagi o zindagi
kya kya rang dikhaaye zindagi
haan jaane kahan leke jaaye zindagi

abhi abhi chalte chalte aisa laga hai
abhi abhi tune mujhse kuch to kaha hai
oh mere har kadam par tune khushiyaan bichha di
chaaha tha jo kuch maine sab mil gaya hai
koi shikwa hi nahin, kuch shikayat bhi nahin
zindagi o zindagi
itne phool khilaaye zindagi
haan haan jaane kahan leke jaaye zindagi

dil mera laaya mujhko dil ke sheher mein haan
taare bichhe hain kaise har reh guzar mein
oh khushiyaan huwi hain mujhko itni merharba
rehta hu jaise ab to khushiyo ke ghar mein
is sheher ko hai salaam, reh guzar ko hai salaam
zindagi o zindagi
dil ke saans sunaaye zindagi
jaane kahan leke jaaye zindagi
ban ke tera humsafar
main chala jaane kidher
zindagi o zindagi

Where does life beckon, a boundless sea?
Dreams it weaves, what tapestries to be.
Your companion I, on paths unknown I tread,
Oh, Life, oh Life, where will you lead?
What hues you paint, a vibrant show,
Yes, where does life forever flow?

Just now, as journeys unfold and cease,
Just now, a whispered word, a gentle peace.
At every step, you scattered joy's sweet seed,
All I desired, at last, I now concede.
No complaint I hold, nor a mournful plea,
Oh, Life, oh Life, you bloom so free.
Such fragrant blooms, a vibrant hue,
Yes, yes, where does life carry through?

My heart now led me, to the city of the heart,
Stars are strewn, on every street, a work of art.
Such grace, such mercy, poured upon my soul,
Within joy's home, I now make my goal.
To this fair city, I give my salute,
To the path's embrace, a silent attribute.
Oh, Life, oh Life, your music to impart,
The heart's own song, a work of art.
Where does life beckon, a boundless sea?
Your companion I, on paths unknown I tread,
Oh, Life, oh Life, where will you lead?
