DIN KE UJAALE MEIN
IN THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE DAY
Din ke ujaale mein, yeh shaam ki jhalak kaisai hai chaayee
Abhi abhi toe yahan sawera thaa, yeh saanjh kahan se ayee
Aass paas baithe hai jo yeh loge, unhe ujaala nasseb hai
To hamne kya gunha kiya hai batao, ki andhera kareeb hai
Iss subah aur shaam ki uljhan mein aise phasai jaate hai hum
Gar suraj na tha nasseb hamare, chand ko toe dekh paatai hum
Aisaa aalam hai chaaya ae doston, ki aankhe khuli hai per bandh
Zindagi key yeh kuch din hai baaki, jo guzar jaye, woh he bus hai kamm
In the bright glow of daylight, from whence has this shadow of night crept in
Just moments ago, dawn filled this place, how then has dusk overtaken it
To those blessed who surround me, their destiny brings blissful light
Oh do tell me, what have I done wrong, that only darkness is my plight
Held am I so fast into the knotted disarray of darkness and light
If sunlight wasn’t to be my destiny, alas, moonlight I had hoped might
Caught am I in such a dilemma my friends, that my eyes are shut wide open
Of the few days that remain of life, those spent, are blessedly less to come
