zindagi ka yahi fasana hain
zindagi ka yahi fasana hain
jo bhi aya hain usko jaana hain
zindagi ka yahi fasana hain
zindagi ka yahi fasana hain

ashk pina hain mushkurana hain
ashk pina hain mushkurana hain
mujhko ae dil vafa nibhana hain
mujhko ae dil vafa nibhana hain
jo bhi aya hain usko jaana hain
zindagi ka yahi fasana hain
zindagi ka yahi fasana hain

dard to sirf mera apna hain
dard to sirf mera apna hain
usame samil magar jamana hain
usame samil magar jamana hain
jo bhi aya hain usko jaana hain
zindagi ka yahi fasana hain
zindagi ka yahi fasana hain

log apno se bair rakhte hain
log apno se bair rakhte hain
mera gairo se dostana hain
mera gairo se dostana hain
jo bhi aya hain usko jaana hain
zindagi ka yahi fasana hain
zindagi ka yahi fasana hain

This is life's recurring tale,
this is life's recurring tale:
All who arrive must set sail.
This is life's recurring tale,
this is life's recurring tale.

To swallow tears and still smile,
to swallow tears and still smile,
Oh heart, to be true for a while.
Oh heart, to be true for a while.
All who arrive must set sail.
This is life's recurring tale,
this is life's recurring tale.

My sorrow is solely my own,
my sorrow is solely my own,
Yet the world in its shadows is shown.
Yet the world in its shadows is shown.
All who arrive must set sail.
This is life's recurring tale,
this is life's recurring tale.

Those close to you harbor strife,
those close to you harbor strife,
But with strangers, I find my life.
But with strangers, I find my life.
All who arrive must set sail.
This is life's recurring tale,
this is life's recurring tale.
