    Yeh Jo Jindagi Hai Song Lyrics and Translation

    From the movie – 1947 Earth

    jo afsaane dil ne bune unko koi dil hi sune

    What stories the heart has woven, only another heart should hear them.

    ham haule haule pyaar ki dhundhali fizaayon mein aaye

    Slowly, slowly, we enter the misty atmospheres of love.

    gahare gahare hain khwaab ki nili ghataayon ke saaye

    The shadows of the blue clouds of dream are deep indeed.

    ham tum donon khoye khoye

    You and I are both lost,

    sapne dekhe jaage soye

    beholding dreams, sleeping or waking

    gumsum hairaan

    hushed and amazed.

    yeh jo zindagi hai koi daastaan hai

    This life is a story;

    kab hoga kya yeh khabar kahaan hai

    what will happen, there’s no way to know.

    yeh jo zindagi hai koi kaaravaan hai

    This life is a caravan;

    kahaan jaayegi yeh khabar kahaan hai

    where it will go, there’s no way to know.

    yeh jo zindagi hai koi daastaan hai

    This life is a story;

    kab hoga kya yeh khabar kahaan hai

    what will happen, there’s no way to know.

    yeh jo zindagi hai koi kaaravaan hai

    This life is a caravan;

    kahaan jaayegi yeh khabar kahaan hai

    where it will go, there’s no way to know.

    yeh jo zindagi hai koi daastaan hai

    This life is a story;

    kab hoga kya yeh khabar kahaan hai

    what will happen, there’s no way to know.

    yeh jo zindagi hai koi kaaravaan hai

    This life is a caravan;

    kahaan jaayegi yeh khabar kahaan hai

    where it will go, there’s no way to know.

    bahati hai chingaariyaan jaise

    It’s as if sparks flow

    sar se paanvon tak nas nas mein

    through my veins, from my head to the feet.

    halka halka hosh hai lekin

    My wits are light, refreshed ,

    kuchh bhi nahin ab mere bas mein

    but it’s as if nothing is under my control now.

    mere ang ang mein bechaini

    Restlessness in my every limb;

    bijali banke laharaayi

    becoming lightning, it snakes through me.

    ek meethe meethe dard ka baadal tan man par chhaaye

    A cloud of sweet, sweet pain overshadows my body.

    saanse.n uljhe dharke hai dil

    My breath is tangled; my heart pounds;

    jaane kaise meri mushkil hogi aasaan

    who knows how my trouble will be eased?

    yeh jo zindagi hai koi daastaan hai

    This life is a story;

    kab hoga kya yeh khabar kahaan hai

    what will happen, there’s no way to know.

    yeh jo zindagi hai koi kaaravaan hai

    This life is a caravan;

    kahaan jaayegi yeh khabar kahaan hai

    where it will go, there’s no way to know.

    yeh jo zindagi hai koi daastaan hai

    This life is a story;

    kab hoga kya yeh khabar kahaan hai

    what will happen, there’s no way to know.

    yeh jo zindagi hai koi kaaravaan hai

    This life is a caravan;

    kahaan jaayegi yeh khabar kahaan hai

    where it will go, there’s no way to know.

    are kaash meri in aankhon ki ab roshani bujh jaaye

    Oh, would that this light in my eyes were extinguished!

    main ne dekha tha jo khwaab

    The dream which I saw,

    voh mujhko na kabhi yaad aaye

    may I never think on it again!

    aise barse gam ke teeshe toote dil ke saare sheeshe

    Such was the rain of my sorrows that it shattered all the glass of my heart.

    dil hai viraan

    My heart is ruined.

    yeh jo zindagi hai koi daastaan hai
