Aye zindagi...peace now!

Chota sa saaya tha, ankhon mein aaya tha,
Humne do boondhon se man bhar liya

Didnt think it may not suffice
After all, thats how the drug tempts

Humne bahane se, chupke zamaane se,
Palkon ke parde mein ghar kar liya,

And in that illusion there was turmoil
A tornado that cleans out pretty much everything
Disturbs the equilibrium
Upsets it....destroys!

Settling down there is an unnatural calmness
The left over ruins
But settled it has...the Storm!

Tera sahaara mil gaya hai zindagi
Tera kinaara mil gaya hai zindagi

No regrets
No guilt
Peace...silver linings visible..

Aye zindagi gale laga le,
Humne bhi tere har ek gham ko,
Gale se lagaya hain, hain naa..
