saikdo arman lekar aaye the
saikdo arman lekar aaye the
dil pe lakho hasrate lekar chale

zindagi hai ya koi tufan hai
ham to is jine ke hatho mar chale
zindagi hai ya koi tufan hai
zindagi hai ya koi tufan hai

aati jati sans ka alam nahi pooch
aati jati sans ka alam nahi pooch
jaise to hari ghar ka khanzar chale
jindagi hai ya koi tufan hai

We came bearing a hundred dreams,
a hundred dreams we held so dear,
and left with longing etched on hearts,
a million wishes, shed a tear.

Is this life, or a raging storm?
By its hand, we're slowly slain.
Is this life, or a raging storm?
Is this life, or a raging storm?

Don't ask the state of breaths that flee,
don't ask the ebb and flow's despair,
like a traitor's blade, life cuts us down,
Is this life, or a raging storm?
