Aye zindagi ke raahi

Aye zindagi ke raahi himmat na haar jaana
Aye zindagi ke raahi
Aye zindagi ke raahi himmat na haar jaana
Beetegi raat gham ki badlega yeh zamaana
Aye zindagi ke raahi

Kyon raat ki siyaahi tujhko dara rahi hai
Kyon raat ki siyaahi tujhko dara rahi hai
Haare huve musaafir manzil bula rahi hai
Haare huve musaafir manzil bula rahi hai
Bas jaayega kisi din ujda jo aashiyaana
Beetegi raat gham ki badlega yeh zamaana
Aye zindagi ke raahi

Haathon se tere daaman ummeed ka na chhoote
Haathon se tere daaman ummeed ka na chhoote
Dam toot jaaye lekin himmat kabhi na toote
Dam toot jaaye lekin himmat kabhi na toote
Marne mein kya dhara hai jeene ka kar bahaana
Beetegi raat gham ki badlega yeh zamaana
Aye zindagi ke raahi

This is a rain song, which makes it apt for the season. Sadly, the video I have included does not have the last stanza. The full video of the song is not available anywhere. For the interested, here is the full audio version.

The song asks you to not lose courage during difficult times. This has been a recurring theme in my choices lately. Regardless of the praises poets heap on rain and the rainy season, I don't find it enjoyable. ~ S
