kitni haseen zindagi hai ye
hoton pe jaise kahani hai
sadaa yahan kiska thikana hai
unki rawani me jaana hai
baharon ne harsu rang hai bikheraa
ret ka sehra ek pal ka ghera
ek din bikharnaa yahan

dil bhi kahin hai, pahadon me
thoda sa kahin hai, kinaron me
phir ke chali hai, thandi hawaaen
kya tum miloge humse, jahaan leke jaaye
bheegi bheegi palkhen, kamsin adaayen
masoom chehra tera, nahin bhool paaye

tumhe bhi kabhi, ye satate hain
muskra ke dil ko, churate hain
jeene ko to dil ye, chaahta hai
jaane phir kyon, sharmaata hai
rukta nahin hai, sab kuch bataaye
chupta nahin hai, dil jaan jaaye
ab rehna kisko yahaan

How lovely is this life, a whispered tale upon the lips,
a fleeting story.
Whose dwelling endures?
We are swept away by their current.
Spring's breath has scattered hues,
a desert of sand, a transient embrace,
one day, all will crumble.

The heart resides in mountains,
a fragment lingers by the shores.
Cool breezes have begun to dance again;
Will you join me where they lead?
Tears upon your lashes, a tender grace,
your innocent face, I cannot forget.

Do they too, these things, torment you?
Do they steal your heart with a smile?
This heart desires to live, it yearns,
yet why does it blush with shame?
It does not cease, it reveals all,
it cannot hide, the heart knows.
Who now would choose to remain?
