Log aate' hain log jaate' hain

Log aate' hain log jaate' hain,

Zindagi ka shayad yahi dastoor hai.

Aane’ waalon ki khushi aur jaane’ walon ka ghum hota hai,

Yehi shayad kudrat ka dastoor hai.

Magar woh khushi aur ghum pal do pal hi hote’ hain,

Yeh naa jaane' kiska dastoor hai?

Zindagi har morh (turning) par,

Har ek ko anjaani chunauti deti hai,

Usse’ joojhne’ ki koshish mein hum iss jahaan ko bhool jaate’ hain,

Yeh shayad uss parvar digaar ka dastoor hai.

Naa chahte’ hue’ bhi hum khushi aur ghum ko,

Paani ki bulbulon ki tarah bhula dete’ hain,

Aur kai anjaani chunautiyon mein doob jaate’ hain,

Yehi shaayad jeene’ ka dastoor hain.
