Текст и перевод песни Jagjit Singh & Gulzar - Zindagi Kya Hai

Zindagi Kya Hai

Aadami bulbula hain paani ka
Aur paani ki behati satreh par
Tut ta bhi hain dubta bhi hain
Phir ubharta hain phir se behta hain
Na samandar nigal saka isko
Na dawarikh tod paayi hain
Waqt ki moz par sadda behta
Aadami bulbula hain paani ka
Zindagi kya hai jaanne ke liye
Zinda rehna bahot jaroori hai
Aaj tak koi bhi raha to nahin
Saari waadi udas baithi hai
Mausam-e-gul ne khudkashi karli
Kisne barood boya baagon mein
Aao hum sab pehenle aaine
Saare dekhenge apna hi chehra
Sabko saarein haseen lagenge yahan
Hai nahin jo dikhaii deta hai
Aaine par chapa huwa chehra
Tarjumah aaine ka thik nahin
Humko ghalib ne yeh duwa di thi
Tum salamat raho hazar baras
Yeh baras to faqat dino mein gaya
Lab tere mir ne bhi dekhe hai
Pankhari ek gulab ki si hai
Baat sunte to ghalib ho jaate
Aise bikhre hai raat din jaise
Motiyon wala haar tuth gaya
Tumne mujhko pidoke rakha tha.

What is Life

Man is the bubble of water
And on the surface of flowing water
Breaks and drowns also
Then emerges and flows again
Neither the sea could swallow it
Nor time could break it
Sound floating on the wave of time
Man is the bubble of water
To know what life is
It is essential to be alive
No one has lived till today
All the promises sit sadly
The spring season committed suicide
Who sowed gunpowder in the gardens
Come, let us all wear mirrors
All will see their own face
Everyone will look beautiful here
What is not visible is
Face impressed on the mirror
Translation of the mirror is not correct
Ghalib gave me this prayer
May you live for a thousand years
This thousand years went by in just a few days
My lips have also been kissed by Meer
It is like a petal of a rose
If Ghalib had heard the story
He would have scattered like this day and night
Like a pearl necklace breaking
You had kept me in a cage.
