Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli Lyrics in Hindi
ज़िन्दगी कैसी है पहेली, हाय
कभी तो हँसाए, कभी ये रुलाये
ज़िन्दगी कैसी है पहेली, हाय
कभी तो हँसाए, कभी ये रुलाये
तो भी, देखो, मन नहीं जागे
पीछे-पीछे सपनों के भागे
हे, तो भी, देखो, मन नहीं जागे
पीछे-पीछे सपनों के भागे
एक दिन सपनों का राही
चला जाए सपनों से आगे, कहाँ?
ज़िन्दगी कैसी है पहेली, हाय
कभी तो हँसाए, कभी ये रुलाये
जिन्होंने सजाए यहाँ मेले
सुख-दुःख संग-संग झेले
हे, जिन्होंने सजाए यहाँ मेले
सुख-दुःख संग-संग झेले
वो ही चुनकर खामोशी
यूँ चले जाए अकेले, कहाँ?
ज़िन्दगी कैसी है पहेली, हाय
कभी तो हँसाए, कभी ये रुलाये
Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli Lyrics in English
Jindgi kaisi hai paheli haye
Kabhi toh hasaye kabhi yeh rulaye
Jindgi kaisi hai paheli haye
Kabhi toh hasaye kabhi yeh rulaye
Kabhi dekho mann nahi jage
Pichhe pichhe sapno ke bhage
Kabhi dekho mann nahi jage
Pichhe pichhe sapno ke bhage
Ek din sapno kaa rahi chala
Jayey sapno ke aage kaha
Jindgi kaisi hai paheli haye
Kabhi toh hasaye kabhi yeh rulaye
Jinhone sajaye yaha mele
Sukh dukh sang sang jhele
Jinhone sajaye yaha mele
Sukh dukh sang sang jhele
Wahi chunkar khamoshi
Yu chali jayey akele kaha
Jindgi kaisi hai paheli haye
Kabhi toh hasaye kabhi yeh rulaye.
