I am still around and here is another
one..............
********************************************************************
Tanha tanha hum ro lengay, mehfil mehfil gayengay,
Jab tak aansoo paas rahengay, tab tak geet sunayengay !
[I will cry whenever I am alone, I will sing
when I am among friends,
As long as there are tears within me, I will keep singing !]
Tum jo socho woh tum jaano, hum to apni
kehtay hain,
Dher na karna ghar jaanay mein, varna ghar kho jayengay!
[Whatever you think, that's your business, I
always tell my own story,
Don't be late in getting back home, otherwise you will lose your
home !]
Bachon kay chotay haathon ko, chaand sitaray
choonay do,
Chaar kitabain pad kar woh bhi, ham jaisay ho jayengay !
[Let the small hands of kids touch moon and its
stars,
After studying some books, they too will become like us !]
Kin rahon say door hai manzil, kaun sa rasta
aasan hai,
Hum jab thak kar ruk jayengay, auron ko samjayengay !
[Which routes are lengthier, and which roads
are easier,
When I get tired and sit down, only then we will advice other
people !]
Achi soorat vaalay saray, pathar-dil ho
mumkin hai,
Hum to us din raay dengay, jis din dokha khayengay !
[All the beautiful people are stone-hearted,
that is possible,
The day I get deceived, I will start giving suggestions !]
Tanha tanha hum ro lengay, mehfil mehfil
gayengay,
Jab tak aansoo paas rahengay, tab tak geet sunayengay !
