All language is misleading,
we are in the thousands.
The shortcomings of now are but a few,
every thing is special.

tum rɛh sake to rabbaa hai .
ab hai jo hai vo samaa hai ,
tum rɛh sake …
The "now" is what it is, it's the time,
if you can stay (in it), you are God
The "now" is what it is, it's the time,
if you can stay …

About this song
- Music
- Ritviz
jiit (Hindi:जीत, Urdu: جِیت) "Victory", is a song and video clip released in 2018, written and composed by the Indian techno musician Ritviz.
The song's lyrics speak about the importance of seizing the present moment, of enjoying the "now".
The meaning and grammar of the lyrics are a little unclear, the words mostly contribute to provide an ambiance.
In the video clip, three young women who perform very humble jobs (a street seamstress, a fruit seller, and an auto-rickshaw driver), make a pause in their tasks and go together in an evening outing, enjoying their friendship and the simple pleasures of life.
At the end of the video, they resume their work, and the rickshaw driver picks up Ritviz himself.
The three women are played by the actresses Rytasha Rathore, Dimple Paul, and Veronica Vanij.
