ROZ EK SHER

सपने सजा रहा था कि यौवन गुज़र गया
जागा तो देखता हूँ कि जीवन गुज़र गया
-नन्दलाल पाठक

sapne sajaa rahaa thaa ki yauvan guzar gayaa
jaagaa to dekhtaa huun ki jiivan guzar gayaa
-Nandlal Pathak

I lost my youth engrossed in dreaming
And woke up to find that life had passed me by

English adaptation by Manish Modi
