ye jivan hai is jivan ka
yahi hai, yahi hai, yahi hai rang rup
ye jivan hai is jivan ka
yahi hai, yahi hai, yahi hai rang rup
thode gam hai, thodi khushiya
thode gam hai, thodi khushiya
yahi hai, yahi hai, yahi hai chhaanv dhup
ye jivan hai

ye na socho isme apni haar hai ki jit hai
ye na socho isme apni haar hai ki jit hai
use apna lo jo bhi jivan ki rit hai
ye zid chhod o, yu na todo, har pal ek darpan hai
ye jivan hai is jivan ka
yahi hai, yahi hai, yahi hai rang rup
ye jivan hai

dhan se na duniya se, ghar se na dvaar se
dhan se na duniya se, ghar se na dvaar se
saanso ki dor bandhi hai pritam ke pyaar se
duniya chhute, par na tute ye kaisa bandhan hai
ye jivan hai is jivan ka
yahi hai, yahi hai, yahi hai rang rup
thode gam hai, thodi khushiya
yahi hai, yahi hai, yahi hai chhaanv dhup
ye jivan hai

This life, of this very life,
Is this, is this, is this its hue.
This life, of this very life,
Is this, is this, is this its hue.
Some sorrows, and some joys,
Some sorrows, and some joys,
Is this, is this, is this the whole view.
This life is.

Do not dwell on loss or gain,
Do not dwell on loss or gain,
Embrace all, life's destined rain.
Let go of stubbornness, don't break, each moment a mirror's gleam.
This life, of this very life,
Is this, is this, is this its hue.
This life is.

Not from wealth, nor from the world, from home or from the gate,
Not from wealth, nor from the world, from home or from the gate,
Breath's thread is tied to Beloved's fate.
Let the world depart, but let this bond remain unbroken, unseen.
This life, of this very life,
Is this, is this, is this its hue.
Some sorrows, and some joys,
Is this, is this, is this the whole view.
This life is.
