Zindagi Sifar hai (Life Sums up to Zero)

Zindagi Sifar hai, thi, aur rahegi...

jitne din, utni hin raatein

jitni dhoop, utni barsaatein

jitni khamoshi, utni hin baatein

jitni khushboo, utne hin kaaantein

jitni khushiyaan, utne gam hain

jitni chaahat, utni tadpan hain

jitni saanson mein hain aanhe

utni chalne ko hain raahein

jitni gulshan mein haryaali

hain utne hin daaman khaali

jitne maujon mein hain dhaare

utne sookhen se patwaare

jitni chaahat ki shitalta

utni nafrat ke angaarein

jitne gumsum si nigahein hain

utaa hin shor-e-sharaba hai

jitne bebas se rishte hain

utna hin jasn-e-bahara hai

jitni hai hansi, utne aanshu

phir bhi dil kyun na ye samjhe tu

ki ujaale mein chhipe hain andhiyaarein

har khushi mein dard ki hain lehrein

ek ghar to ek beghar bhi hai

hain jaam to sookhen lab bhi hain

ye waqt ki likhi kahaani hai

jisne kismet ke taraju mein

sabko hin barabar taul diya

ab jhoote aanshoo rokar bhi

kismat ko baithe kosh ke bhi

wahi paoge jo hai milti

kyunki,

Zindagi Sifar hai, thi, aur Sifar hin rahegi...
