zindagi aye zindagi zindagi, tere hai do rup
zindagi aye zindagi zindagi, tere hai do rup
biti hui raato ki bato ki tu chhaya
chhaya vo jo banegi dhup

kabhi tere kirane thi thandi thandi hay re
ab tu hi mere ji me aag lagaye
kabhi tere kirane thi thandi thandi hay re
ab tu hi mere ji me aag lagaye
chandani eye chandani chandani, tere hai do rup
tute hue sapno ki apno ki tu chhaya
chhaya vo jo banegi dhup

aate jate pal kya hai samay ke ye jhule hai
bichade sathi kabhi yad aaye kabhi bhule hai
aate jate pal kya hai samay ke ye jhule hai
bichade sathi kabhi yad aaye kabhi bhule hai
adami eye adami adami, tere hai do rup
dukh sukh ke jhulo ki phulo ki tu chhaya
chhaya vo jo banegi dhup
chhaya vo jo banegi dhup

koi bhuli hui bat mujhe yad aai hai
khushi bhi tu layi thi aur ansu bhi tu layi hai
koi bhuli hui bat mujhe yad aai hai
khushi bhi tu layi thi aur ansu bhi tu layi hai
dilagi eye dilagi dilagi, tere hai do rup
kaise kaise vado ki yado ki tu chhaya
chhaya vo jo banegi dhup

Life, O Life, Life, two faces you wear,
Life, O Life, Life, two faces you wear,
A shadow of nights gone by, of tales untold,
A shadow that will bloom in sunlight's glare.

Once your rays, so cool, a gentle hand,
Now you ignite the fire within my land.
Once your rays, so cool, a gentle hand,
Now you ignite the fire within my land.
Moonlight, O Moonlight, Moonlight, two faces you bear,
A shadow of broken dreams, of loved ones lost,
A shadow that will bloom in sunlight's care.

Fleeting moments, swings of time's embrace,
Lost companions, remembered then erased.
Fleeting moments, swings of time's embrace,
Lost companions, remembered then erased.
Man, O Man, Man, two faces you share,
A shadow of sorrow and joy, of blossoms bright,
A shadow that will bloom in sunlight's air.
A shadow that will bloom in sunlight's air.

A forgotten word, a memory's gleam,
You brought forth joy, and tears that softly stream.
A forgotten word, a memory's gleam,
You brought forth joy, and tears that softly stream.
Love's play, O Love's play, Love's play, two faces you keep,
A shadow of promises whispered, of memories deep,
A shadow that will bloom in sunlight's sleep.
