Aane Wala Pal Lyrics & Translation

Easily one of my favorite songs written by Gulzar Saab. Its just beautiful how he intertwines deep philosophy into honey soaked words.

Movie: Golmaal
Lyrics: Gulzar
Music: R D Burman
Singer: Kishore Kumar

Aanewala Pal Jaanewala Hai,
Ho Sake To Iss Mein Zindagi Bitaado
Pal Jo Yeh Jaanewala Hai

The moment that is to arrive, is about to pass by,
If you can, in it, live your life…
This moment, that is about to pass by.

Ek Baar Yoon Mili Maasoom Si Kali,
Khilte Hue Kahaan Khushbash Mein Chali.
Dekha To Yahin Hai, Dhundha To Nahin Hai,
Pal Jo Yeh Jaanewala Hai

Once (I) met this innocent blossom
Blooming, (she) said, I am leaving happy.
When I looked, it was right there , When I searched, it is not there,
This moment that is about to pass by.

Ek Baar Waqt Se Lamha Gira Kahin
Wahaan Dastan Mili, Lamha Kahin Nahin
Thoda Sa Hasaake, Thoda Sa Rulaake
Pal Ye Bhi Jaanewala Hai

Once, a moment fell from (the grasp of) time somewhere
There I found this legend, The moment was nowhere,
Making you laugh a little, Making you cry a little
This moment is also about to pass by

Aanewala Pal Jaanewala Hai,
Ho Sake To Iss Mein Zindagi Bitaado
Pal Jo Yeh Jaanewala Hai

The moment that is to arrive, is about to pass by,
If you can, in it, live your life…
This moment, that is about to pass by.
