Life's Quiz


Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli

Zindagi ...kaisi hai paheli, haaye
Kabhi to hansaaye kabhi ye rulaaye (2)

Kabhi dekho man nahi jaage peechhe peechhe sapno ke bhaage
Ek din sapno ka raahi chalaa jaaye sapno ke aage kaha
Zindagi...

Jinhone sajaaye yaha mele sukh-dukh sang-sang jhele
Wahi chunkar khaamoshi yu chali jaaye akele kaha
Zindagi...
From the Movie Anand - sung by Manna Dey, Music By Salil Choudhary,Directed By Hrishikesh Mukherjee

Translation:
Life is such a riddle!
Makes you laugh and makes you cry!!

Sometimes the mind continues to sleep; chasing dreams!
Only to have your dreams leave you far behind!!

Ones who set up life here, go through happiness and sadness together!
However they choose to move on ALONE in silence!!

Do not know if my translation does justice to the beauty of the song and I'll be more than happy to be corrected!!
