“Katra katra milti hai, katra katra jeene do.
Zindagi hai, zindagi hai, behne do, behne do. Pyaasi hoon main, pyaasi rehne
do. Rehne do na.”
It wasn’t just (K)atrack
from Ijaazat, but it wouldn’t be

The verse means,
“Drops meet. Let me live, drop by drop. This is life, let it flow. I am
thirsty, let my thirst remain unquenched.”
And
appropriately, it was penned and composed by a couple of venerated gents who
knew her intimately – Gulzar and R D Burman, respectively.
