Lyrics (language: Urdu)

Aaj jaane ki zid na karo 
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo 
Yunhi pehlu mein bethey raho 
Yunhi pehlu mein bethey raho 
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo 

Haaye mar jaayein ge 
Hum to lutt jaayein ge 
Aisi baatein kiya na karo 
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo 
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo 

Tumhi socho zara 
kyun na rokein tumhey 
jaan jaati hai jab uth ke jaatey ho tum 
jaan jaati hai jab uth ke jaatey ho tum 
tum ko apni qasam jaan-e-jaan 
baat itni meri maan lo 
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo 
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo 

Waqt ki qaed mein zindagi hai magar 
Waqt ki qaed mein zindagi hai magar 
chand gharriya'n yahi hain jo aazaad hain 
chand gharriya'n yahi hain jo aazaad hain 
inko khho kar kaheen jaan-e-jaan 
umr bhar na tarastey raho 
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo 
Aaj jaane ki zid na karo

Aaj Jaane Ki Zidd Na Karo

Welcome to the latest episode of the podcast at Tasbih-e-Zindagi!

A few days back we celebrated many festivals in different parts of India. I wish you all a happy Baishakhi, Bohag Bihu, Puthandu, Naba Barsha and Vishu. I wish you and your loved ones abundance of peace and bountiful of prosperity.
In todays podcast I share with you an experience from my childhood, as it continues to remind me of something deeper and valuable - Being able to connect with the Hero that lies within, this for me is the real gift of all these festivals. 

And of course as we enter a zone of celebration, I sing my heart out! So here's my humble attempt at singing the, "Hero" by Mariah Carey. A song written by Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff. Do you want to listen to that? Do stay tuned and listen to the podcast.

As we continue to be in the lock down, I salute all the Heroes who are front ending the fight against the Coronavirus. The doctors, healthcare professionals, delivery executives, corporation workers, security staff and each one of us who chooses to adhere to the current advisory from the Government. All heroes in their own right.

Podcast 13- The Quest - Where Are The Laddoos? | Hero - Mariah Carey | Nitasha Cover

I am Nitasha Sharma, a mother, musician, psychologist and a yoga practitioner. Tasbīḥ-e-Zindagī is a window to my story, aspirations and experiences. Every once in a while, I share my innermost thoughts and feelings. I share, what I have been moved by and what I am full of gratitude for. Sometimes, lessons from life, sometimes music and sometimes experiences. And as I do so, I also gain clarity and awareness about myself and the world. I hope through this, somewhere someone else is also touched, inspired, encouraged and empowered in the journey of their life.
