08. Jiya Lagaye  

 

A song about letting go of the constant calculations in social relationships and living more in the moment than in the future. A song about the things we hold closest but which matter the least. Let's sow the mango seeds without worrying if the fruit will be sweet. For we are not the whole tree, we are merely the leaves. Here to spread the green, until we blow away in the breeze.

Lyrics: 

Jiya lagaaye

Kaahe

Jiya lagaaye

 

Guthli hai aam ki patthe

Yoon to bekaam ki patthe

Chal bote hain bin soche

Meethe honge yaa khatte

Kaahe jiya lagana re

 

Hum poora ped nahi hain

Hum uski daal ke patte

Hariyaali phailani hai

Phir ud jana hai jhad ke

Kaahe jiya lagana re

 

Duniya kitaabi

Pakki hisaabi

Koi bhala bhi

Gin ke kare

Daan de kaam le

 

Kyun thakta hai gin karke

Sab kuch bhoolega marke

Kya le jana hai dhar ke

Chal baante mutthi bhar ke

 

Hum poora ped nahi hain

Hum uski daal ke patte

Hariyaali phailani hai

Phir ud jana hai jhad ke

Kaahe jiya lagana re
