Jeena kaisa pyar bina
Is duniya mein aaye ho to
Ek duje se pyar karo
Jeena kaisa pyar bina
Is duniya mein aaye ho to
Ek duje se pyar karo
Look in the eyes of the face of love
Look in her eyes, oh, there is peace
No, nothing dies within pure light
Only one hour of this pure love
To last a life of thirty years
Only one hour, so come and go
Jeena kaisa pyar bina
Is duniya mein aaye ho to
Ek duje se pyar karo
Jeena kaisa pyar bina
Is duniya mein aaye ho to
Ek duje se pyar karo
Look in the eyes, the face of love
Look in her eyes, oh, there is peace
No, nothing dies within pure light
Only one hour of this pure love
To last a life of thirty years
Only one hour, so come and go

Overall Meaning:
The lyrics of "The Face of Love" by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Eddie Vedder are about the necessity of love in life. The song portrays that living without love is not worth it. The phrase "Jeena kaisa pyar bina" translates to "what is life without love." The song implies that love brings peace and without it, nothing in the world can replace the void that it creates. The lyrics suggest that love is essential, and one must love each other deeply.
The chorus then implores the idea of valuing one's time with the person they love. It hints that time is fleeting, and it should be spent with the one you love. The idea of "one hour" of pure love lasting a life of 30 years signifies the significance of a single moment in a lifetime. It's urging listeners to cherish that one hour of pure love and hold it close to their hearts as it may last for a lifetime. The song is a beautiful reminder of why love is essential in life and how one must hold onto it when it comes their way.
