Toote se ek gharondey mein
kuch daraar si hai
jahan se ek awara dhoop ka katra
ek parindey ko uske khwaabon se jagata hai
thoda alsata sa wo kuch ghabrata sa wo
darwaze ke paas jaake har baar palat jaata hai
Use dekh ke na jaane main kyun bechain hota ***
Fikr-e-akhirat mein apni shaksiyat ko khota ***

Uski udaan ki mayoosi se waakif meri pehchan bhi hai
thoda adhura wo khud hai
thoda adhura mera aasmaan bhi hai

Band hai is shahar ki hawa,
Jeene ka kuch asar nahin mujhpe,
Kuch duur se ati koi awaaz, kahin yun hi kho jati hai,
Deewaron se takrakar,mere paas yun ati hai
Kis aur jaun, har simt se nawakif main aksar kho jaata ***
Andheri raaton mein akela khud ko pata ***

khud ke ehd ki zanjeeron mein, darakht si meri jaan bhi hai
thoda adhura main khud ***
thoda adhura mera aasmaan bhi hai

TOH ZINDA ** TUM.....
I feel like falling in love once again...
When I listen to this song...
I feel like a teenager again..
When I read the lyrics line by line...


Dilon mein tum apni betabiyan leke chal rahe **.Toh zinda ** tum!


When you carry restlessness in your heart,
then you are ALIVE


Nazar mein khwaabon ki bijliyan leke chal rahe **
Toh zinda ** tum!

When you carry dreams in your sight,
then you are ALIVE


Hawa ke jhonkon ke jaise aazad rehna seekho
Tum ek dariya ke jaise, leharon mein behna seekho
Har ek lamhe se tum milo khole apni baahein
Har ek pal ek naya samaa dekhiye

Learn to be free like the swaying air around you
Learn to flow like the tide flows with the water
Meet every moment of your life with open arms
and experience newness every second you live

Jo apni aankhon mein hairaniyan leke chal rahe **
Toh zinda ** tum!
When you carry wonder in your eyes,
then you are ALIVE


Dilon mein tum apni betabiyan leke chal rahe **
Toh zinda ** tum!
When you carry anxiety in your heart,
then you are ALIVE
This is my favourite Urdu language shayari(poem) by the famous Javed Akhtar.
