ZINDAGI AUR MAUT..!!
LIFE AND DEATH..!!

Naaraz hei tujsei hum, ei jindagi tu bewafa hei

Seekh lei maut sei, voh jaanti hei kya wafa hei

                                Eei maut! Galei se lagaalei tu…

 

Jindagi chalna sikhati hei, toe girati bhi hei tu hi

Maut ko dekh aati hei, aur saath lei jaati hei, sana-ei-wafa

                                Eei maut! Galei se lagaalei tu…

 

Tu khushi deti hei par hasna sikhei usse pehle rula deti hei

Maut ko dekh, aatei hi saare gum bhula deti hei

                                Eei maut! Galei se lagaalei tu…

 

Humdum ban saath naachti hei tu toe kabhi salon nachaati hei

Maut hei mehrbaan, apni panaho mei lei jaati hei

                                Eei maut! Galei se lagaalei tu…

 

‘Ritu’ jeevan bhar baat sunati rahi teri, par tunei usski ek na suni

Pehli baar araz ki hei maut sei, dekh baat usne meri sunli

                                Eei mot! Galei se lagaalei tu…

I am unhappy with you, O life, you are not trustworthy,

Learn something from death, it knows what trust is,

                                O death! Take me in your arms…!

 

Life you made me learn to walk, but you also made me fall,

Look at death, it comes and takes away with it, partner-I-trust,

                                O death! Take me in your arms…!

 

You do give happiness, but before I could laugh, you made me cry,

Look at death, when it comes it makes us forget all sorrows,

                                O death! Take me in your arms…!

 

As partner sometime you dance with me and sometimes make me dance,

Death is favorable,  when it comes takes us in her arms,

                                O death! Take me in your arms…!

 

‘Ritu’ has always listened to you, but you never listen to me,

For the first time I have requested  death, look it has considered it,

                                O death! Take me in your arms…!
