Galat Modmaa Jaba - Bhim Birag

गलत मोडमा जब - भिम विराग

Recorded live during 'Paleti with Bhim Birag - February 2006'

Lyrics

गलत मोडमा जब मोडिन्छ जिन्दगी
आफूदेखि आफ्नै तोडिन्छ जिन्दगी
गलत मोडमा जब मोडिन्छ जिन्दगी

बाटो हो कि कुबाटो अन्धोलाई के मतलब
आँखै हुनेको पनि ठोकिन्छ जिन्दगी
गलत मोडमा जब मोडिन्छ जिन्दगी

ढुङ्गाको चोटलाई ऐनाले सहनु पर्छ
कमजोरीले नै यसरी टुक्रिन्छ जिन्दगी
गलत मोडमा जब मोडिन्छ जिन्दगी

लेखिन्छ बालुवमा पानिमा लेखिँदैन
एउटै लहरले तर मेटिन्छ जिन्दगी
गलत मोडमा जब मोडिन्छ जिन्दगी

Transliterated

Galat modma jaba modinchha jindagi
Aaphudekhi aaphnai todinchha jindagi
Galat modma jab modinchha jindagi

Bato ho ki kubato andholai ke matalab
Aankhai huneko pani thokinchha jindagi
Galat modma jab modinchha jindagi

Dhungako chotlai ainale sahanu parchha
Kamajorile nai yasari tukrinchha jindagi
Galat modma jab modinchha jindagi

Lekhinchha baluvma panima lekhindaina
Eutai laharle tara metinchha jindagi
Galat modma jab modinchha jindagi

Translated

When life takes a wrong turn
Even your own self breaks

A good road or a bad road
Does it matter to the blind?
Even those who have eyes
At times stumble in a lifetime

A mirror must face wounds
Wounds inflicted by a stone
Such is the weakness of life
As life starts to break itself

It is written in the sand
And not on the waters
One sweep of a big wave
Erases life away from itself

It seems the riverbanks
Turn to a river in the rain
Life is but a mere speck of dust
Briefly existing in a hurricane
