ज़िन्दगी रहम को तरसती है


कैसा तौहीने लफ़्ज़ हस्ती है
जीने वालों ये कैसी बस्ती है
मौत को लोग यहां देते हैं कांधा
ज़िन्दगी रहम को तरसती है

kaisaa tauheene lafz hastii hai
jeene vaalo.n ye kaisii bastii hai
maut ko log yahaa.n dete hai.n kaandhaa
zindagii raham ko tarastii hai

What a debilitating word 'existence' is!
Oh living beings! What kind of colony is this!
People carry the dead on their shoulders and support them
Life longs for some mercy, some pity and some compassion
