ham ne laale kī tarah is daur meñ

aañkh kholī thī ki dekhā dil kā ḳhuuñ

hum ne lale ki tarah is daur mein

aankh kholi thi ki dekha dil ka KHun

maut kā bhī ilaaj ho shāyad

zindagī kā koī ilaaj nahīñ

for death a cure there well may be

but for this life no remedy

Interpretation: Rekhta AI

The couplet turns the usual fear upside down: death seems like a problem that might be solved, yet life is the deeper, unsolvable affliction. “Cure” becomes a metaphor for relief from pain, restlessness, and the burdens of existence. The emotional core is weary resignation, suggesting that living brings complexities no remedy can fully fix.

maut ka bhi ilaj ho shayad

zindagi ka koi ilaj nahin

for death a cure there well may be

but for this life no remedy

Interpretation: Rekhta AI

rajat bhi karega to Thahra hua sayyara

suraj ki mohabbat mein ghar apna jala dega
