Teri bey rukhee, zindagi
Peh der peh, herr arzoo bendagi
Kabhi anch kee, kabhee sard see
Wohee baat rahi, na-kahi
Aik lams kee, wohh aik harf see
Mit-tee nahi, likhtee rahi…
Reitlee, phir bhee kheree
Chilmilateye inn seb khaboon kee
aik abadi jeiseye ho hari
faket zindagi
bohet naaz ka, purkhaloos sath ka
pawan kee bood ka, kiran kee chahoon meye
damekteye pani keye chesmeye sa saaf
wohh aik wajood iss ka
kushi kee duff sa bajata raha
wohh aaya, paas ata raha
bohet hasas sa, bey niyaz sa
pazeib sa rishta jura
bena (becomes) zindagi
chothee heye mager itni see dunya-zindagi
rahet kee khojh, dukhoon seye bhagti zindagi
mauj kee rutoon meye, pabend-e-asool
kee see zindagi
amed-e-diyar ka, sooret-e-hal ka
juz ba juz aik fishar sa
wohh jo aik rehmet sahiba lageye,
wohh zindagi
iss kee taranum meye beye hosh hein
araam seye kiyam na ho,
lau kee neiki apnayit jaga ker
doorii meye tamam ho,
meiree mahkash zindagi
tu bata, teiree rooh ka kiya anjaam ho?
