There were quite a few songs containing “Zindagi” in their lyrics those days, and almost all of them were very popular songs. In fact, it was like each one of these songs gave a different interpretation of “Zindagi”. Some song would call “Zindagi” “ek paheli”, some would call it a “naatak”, some would call it a “khel” etc.
