Kaisi Paheli Zindagaani Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Parineeta
nayi nahin nayi ye baatein ye baatein hain puraani
None of this is new; no, this is all old talk
kaisi paheli hai yeh kaisi paheli zindagaani
of what a riddle, what a riddle life is!
thaama haan roka isko kisne haan yeh to behta paani
Who ever managed to stop its eternal flow?
kisme isko haan roka thaame
Who ever stopped it from moving onward?
kaisi paheli hai yeh kaisi paheli zindagaani
What a riddle, what a riddle this life is!
dhire pi le is mein nashaa
Drink it slowly; it’s a powerful intoxicant!
jisne piyaa voh gham mein bhi hasaa
He who has drunk of it knows laughter even in grief.
pal mein hasaaye aur pal mein rulaaye yeh kahaani
It’s a story that makes you laugh and cry in the space of an instant.
kaisi paheli hai yeh kaisi paheli zindagaani
What a riddle, what a riddle this life is!
thaama haan roka isko kisne haan yeh to behta paani
Who ever managed to stop its eternal flow?
kaisi paheli hai yeh kaisi paheli zindagaani
What a riddle, what a riddle this life is!
aankhon mein gair sapna nayaa
A strange dream in your eyes;
aansu tera ek moti hai banaa
your tear has made a pearl.
suuri tagar pe jaise suuri yeh chaanv ho suhaani
Like sun blocked by a shield, how lovely and restful is this shadow!
kaisi paheli hai yeh kaisi paheli zindagaani
What a riddle, what a riddle this life is!
thaama haan roka isko kisne haan yeh to behta paani
Who ever managed to stop its eternal flow?
kaisi paheli hai yeh kaisi paheli zindagaani
What a riddle, what a riddle this life is!
