zindagi kaisi hai paheli, haaye
kabhi to hasaaye, kabhi ye rulaaye
zindagi kaisi hai paheli, haaye
kabhi to hasaaye, kabhi ye rulaaye

kabhi dekho man nahi jaage
pichhe pichhe sapno ke bhaage
kabhi dekho man nahi jaage
pichhe pichhe sapno ke bhaage
ek din sapno ka raahi
chalaa jaaye sapno se aage kahaan
zindagi kaisi hai paheli, haaye
kabhi to hasaaye, kabhi ye rulaaye

jinhone sajaae yahaan mele
sukh-dukh sang-sang jhele
jinhone sajaae yahaan mele
sukh-dukh sang-sang jhele
vahi chunkar khaamoshi
yun chale jaae akele kahaan
zindagi kaisi hai paheli, haaye
kabhi to hasaaye, kabhi ye rulaaye
