छोटी सी ज़िन्दगी / A Short Life

(NOTE: English translation is given below the Original...)


ज़िन्दगी मिलते ही , रौशनी में नहाता हूँ मैं  
रातभर नाचता हूँ इक जूनून से मैं 
भोर होते ही लुप्त हो जाता हूँ समय में 
ज़िन्दगी मेरी इतनी छोटी क्यों है ऐ खुदा?

I bathe in light as soon as I am born
All night long I dance with undying passion
At the break of dawn I vanish in oblivion
Why is my life so short O' God?
