Zindgi!

Let’s make millions of dollar each

And buy things that are out of reach

Lets fly together little too high

To the space that sucks in the stars that shine

Let’s live in a high rise never build before

Let’s buy pictures worth a score

Let’s make a future for you and I

Let’s start it now for there is no time

Let’s focus on things that count

Money and fame must go round and round

Let’s stick to the falls and we will be right

Let’s be together when we have to rise.

Let’s spend so much that we won’t miss time

Let’s do vacations every fortnight

Let’s walk on beaches where the sand is pure white

Starry nights and clear blue sk

Let’s have a future where we won’t need each other

But will stick around for we would have some cover

Lets us shine and make life rich and fine

Let’s just live it but not call it, a compromise.

ग़म अगरचिह जां-गुसिल है पह कहां बचें कि दिल है

although grief is life-destroying, how would we escape, since/while there is a heart?

ग़म-ए `इशक़ अगर न होता ग़म-ए रोज़गार होता

if it were not the grief of passion, it would be the grief of livelihood

- Mirza Ghalib
