Aanewala pal jaanewala hai

Aanewala pal jaanewala hai
Aanewala pal jaanewala hai
Ho sake toh is mein zindagi bitaado
Pal jo yeh jaanewala hai ho ho
Aanewala pal jaanewala hai
Ho sake toh is mein zindagi bitaado
Pal jo yeh jaanewala hai

Ek baar yoon mili, masoom si kali
Ek baar yoon mili, masoom si kali
Ho khilte hue kahaan, khushbash mein chali
Dekha toh yahin hai dhundha toh nahin hai
Pal jo yeh jaanewala hai ho ho
Aanewala pal jaanewala hai
Ho sake toh is mein zindagi bitaado
Pal jo yeh jaanewala hai

Ek baar waqt se lamha gira kahin
Ek baar waqt se lamha gira kahin
Wahaan dastaan mili lamha kahin nahin
Thoda sa hasaake thoda sa rulaake
Pal yeh bhi jaanewala hai ho ho
Aanewala pal jaanewala hai
Ho sake toh is mein zindagi bitaado
Pal jo yeh jaanewala hai ho ho
Aanewala pal jaanewala hai
Aanewala pal jaanewala hai

I love the song because of the Gulzaar-Kishore Kumar-RD Burman combination, of course. I chose to post it now because it seems apt given we have just rung in a new year and because this is a time of major change for me. The words "aanewala pal jaanewala hai" evokes a bittersweet feeling in me right now. ~ S
