zindagii se baDii sazaa hii nahiin
aur kyaa jurm hai pataa hii nahiin
itane hisson men baT gayaa huuN main
mere hisse men kuchh bachaa hii nahiin
jaD do chaaNdii men chaahe sone men
aaiinaa jhuuTh bolataa hii nahiin

No chastisement is harder than Life
Don't know what's my crime
Been split into million parts
Don't have nothing of mine left
Golden frame or silver, around it
Mirror, still, doesn't tell a lie.
