ZINDA
Strings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Khamosh zindagani
Sannata keh raha hai...
Kyun zulm seh raha hai?
Ek daastaan purani
Tanhai ki zubani
Har zakhm khill raha hai...
Chubtay kaantay yaadon kay
Daaman say, chunta hoon...
Girrti deewaron kay
Aanchal mei, zinda hoon...
Bus yeh meri kahani
Be-nishaan nishaani
Ek dard beh raha hai...
Kuch mujhsay keh raha hai
Chubtay kaantay yaadon kay
Daaman say, chunta hoon
Girrti deewaron kay
Aanchal mei, zinda hoon
Bajayay pyar ki shabnam meray gulistan mein
Barastay rehtay hain har simt maut kay sayay
Siahiyon say ulaj parti hain meri aankhain
Koi nahi
Koi bhi naee jo batayay
Kitni dair ujalon ki raah dekhoonga?
Koi nahi
Hai koi bhi nahi, na paas... na door
Ek pyaar hai, dil ki dharkan
Apni chahat ka jo aylaan kiyay jaati hai
Zindagi hai jo jiyay jaati hai
Khoon kay ghoont piyay jaati hai
Khwab kaanton say siyay jaati hai
Ab na koi paas hai
Phir bhi ehsaas hai
Siahiyon mei uljhi pari
Jeenay ki ek aas hai
Yaadon ka jungle yeh dil
Kaanton say jal-thal yeh dil
Chubtay kaanton yaadon kay
Daaman say, chunta hoon
Girrti deewaron kay
Aanchal mei, zinda hoon
The song "Zinda" by Strings appears to be an introspective narrative about the singer's life. The opening lyrics begin by describing the story of the singer's life which is shrouded in silence and a certain emptiness that seems to pervade everything. The singer asks why they must suffer through the cruelty that life can bring. As the song progresses, the singer speaks of old memories of loneliness that she had thought long forgotten but they continue to haunt her. Every pain that she feels is an indication that something within her is trying to communicate but she is unable to understand what it is.
The repetition of "Chubtay kaantay yaadon kay, Daaman say chunta hoon" and "Girrti deewaron kay, Aanchal mein zinda hoon" seems to suggest that the singer is caught between the painful memories of her past and the hope of a better future. The lyrics "Bajayay pyar ki shabnam meray gulistan mein, Barastay rehtay hain har simt maut kay sayay, Siahiyon say ulaj parti hain meri aankhain" talk about the singer's inner turmoil and the internal conflicts that she faces, with happy memories of love troubled by death and sadness. However, the singer still holds onto hope, as exemplified by the line "Jeenay ki ek aas hai". The song ends by speaking of how the jungle of memories is a difficult place to navigate, but the singer holds on to the hope that keeps her alive.

Har zakhm khill raha hai...
Every wound is blooming
Kuch mujh say keh raha hai...
Something is telling me
Chubtay kaantay yaadon kay
Memories with thorns
Daaman say, chunta hoon...
I pick them up from my lap

Falling from the walls
Aanchal mei, zinda hoon...
I am alive in the embrace
Bus yeh meri kahani
This is my only story

My eyes are tangled with inks
Koi nahi...
No one...
Koi bhi naee jo batayay
No one comes to tell me
Kitni dair ujalon ki raah dekhoonga?
For how long will I look for the path of light?
Hai koi bhi nahi, na paas... na door
There is no one, not near ... not far
Ek pyaar hai, dil ki dharkan
One love, heartbeat of the heart
Apni chahat ka jo aylaan kiyay jaati hai
The announcement of my desire
Zindagi hai jo jiyay jaati hai
Life that is lived and survived
Khoon kay ghoont piyay jaati hai
That is consumed with a gulp of blood
Khwab kaanton say siyay jaati hai
That is turned into a nightmare by thorns
Ab na koi paas hai
Now there is no one around
Phir bhi ehsaas hai
Still there is a feeling
Siahiyon mei uljhi pari
Tangled fairy in the inks
Jeenay ki ek aas hai
The hope of living
Yaadon ka jungle yeh dil
This heart is a jungle of memories
Kaanton say jal-thal yeh dil
This heart is burning with thorns
Chubtay kaanton yaadon kay
Memories with thorns
Daaman say, chunta hoon
I pick them up from my lap
Girrti deewaron kay
Falling from the walls
Aanchal mei, zinda hoon
I am alive in the embrace

the dew of love settles in my garden
it flows over every moment with death's aid
my eyes get tangled in this inky darkness
nobody
nobody can't tell me
how long the light will take to shine
nobody
nobody is ever close... or far
just a fleeting emotion, a heart beat
which claim proclaiming it's wants
it's a life that keeps living
it keeps drinking sips of blood
and weaves new dreams

I echo the same brother.. he reminds me of Mike Portnoy, very similar pattern of playing the drums.
