Pal do pal ki, hai ye zindagaani
Beetay lamahon ke jaise beetay jaaye
Silsila ye kaisa, poocho to, jo roke bhi na ruk paaye
To, sapno se poocho kya hai haqeeqat,
Poocho yaadon se kabhi, kya hai zuroorat
Gham se poocho to kabhi, hoti hai kya ik khushi
Rabb se poocho kya hai zindagi
Hoti kya hai chaahat, kya mohobbat hai
Ban jaate hain rishtey kaise sabhi
Hai badaulat kiski, poocho to hoti hai kya zindagi
Vaqt ki dori se bandhi hai har ik saans
Sanson ke sangam se, hota hai ehsaas
Zindagi aakhir hai kya hai jeene ka raaz
Kabhi poocho to zaraa
Kal rahe ya na, kisko pataa
Aane vaali ghari ki kya kisko khabar
Vaqt paabandhiyon ka naheen mohtaaz
Jaane kab toot jaye ye saanson ki dore
Bujhti aankhon se poocho kya hai ujala
Larkharaate kadamon se poocho, kya hai sahaara
Toote dil se to poocho, marham hoti hai kya cheez
Mann se poocho kya hota hai meet

It passes so quickly this cycle of life
Close your eyes for a second and an eternity has passed
How strange this is, nothing can stop its tide
All efforts would be fruitless
Now question those dreams
Ask them which is real
And your memories why they exist
Enquire of sorrow how it feels to be wrapped in bliss
And the architect of life
What creation truly is?
What is this affection? Where is this place called love?
Those that find it, how do they reach it?
Who gave a**istance, grace and favour, who did all this?
Have you examined a segment of happiness?
As we exhale each breath is bound to a term
And gently coaxed we open our eyes
We observe the secret
Indeed you should ask sometime
We wait for tomorrow
Should it ever show?
What lies ahead - who really knows?
And time at its leisurely pace goes
Not confined or restricted
Uncertain of the moment
When the rope holding together each breath of life is rent
Enquire of the blind an illustration of light
And those whose steps falter the crutch that would keep them upright
Quiz the broken hearted concerning the medicine for its healing
And of the soul
It's companion in being
Beetay lamahon ke jaise beetay jaaye
Silsila ye kaisa, poocho to, jo roke bhi na ruk paaye
