सजन रे झूठ मत बोलो

सजन रे झूठ मत बोलो
खुदा के पास जाना है
न हाथी है ना घोड़ा है
वहाँ पैदल ही जाना है

तुम्हारे महल चौबारे
यहीं रह जाएंगे सारे
अकड़ किस बात कि प्यारे
ये सर फिर भी झुकाना है
सजन रे झूठ मत बोलो…

भला कीजै भला होगा
बुरा कीजै बुरा होगा
बही लिख लिख के क्या होगा
यहीं सब कुछ चुकाना है
सजन रे झूठ मत बोलो…

लड़कपन खेल में खोया
जवानी नींद भर सोया
बुढ़ापा देख कर रोया
वही किस्सा पुराना है
सजन रे झूठ मत बोलो…

Desist from telling lies; in the end, we have to go to God. No form of transportation will take us to him, we have to go with our own effort.

Your comfortable homes and fancy rooms will remain here. Why be proud (of your possessions); one day you will have to bow (be humble).

Do good and good will follow you. Do bad and misfortune will be the result. No ledger can balance this progress, only your actions can do so.

In childhood, time is spent playing. In adolescence, time is spent in sleeping. When old age comes, we start to lament our failure to be successful humans. Precious time was wasted by us (which we lament). This is the repeating story of all time.

Teesri Kasam (1967); Mukesh
