zindagi khaakk naa thi [English translation]

Zindagi khaak na thi khaak uratay guzri

Tujh say kya kehtay teray pass jo aatay guzri

Din jo guzra toh kisi yaad ki ro main guzra

Shaam aayi toh koi khuwaab dikhatay guzri

Acchay waqton ki tamana main rahi umr-e-rawaan

Waqt aisa tha kay bus naaz uthatay guzri

Zindagi jis kay muqadar main ho khushiyan teri

Ussko aata hai nibhana so nibhatay guzri

Zindagi naam udher hai kisi sarshaari ka

Aur udher door say aik aas lagatay guzri

Raat kya aayi kay tanhaai ki sarghoshi main

Hoo ka aalam th amagar suntay sunatay guzri

Zindagi Naam Udher Hai Kisi Sarshaari Ka

Baarha choonk si jaati hai musaafat dil ki

Kis ki awaaz thi yeh kis ko bulatay guzri..
