1/2: khilona

duniya jise kahte hain

jaadu ka khilona hai

mil jaaye toh miTTi hain

kho jaaye toh sona hai

that which is called life

is but a bizarre toy

what we get is dirt

what we lose is gold

2/2: khilona

yahaan har shakhs har pal

hadsa hone se darta hai

fana hone se darta hai

everyone here is always

fearful of a calamity happenin

all of them toys...always

fearful of becoming dirt
