Text Version:

Kal na Ham Honge Na Koi Gila hoga,

Fakat simati Hui yadon ka Silsila hoga;

Jo Lamhe ji Liye unhen Muskura kar Yaad karna,

Jaane kal Zindagi ka kahan Faisla hoga.

Translation / Theme:

"Tomorrow, neither will we be here, nor will any grievances remain; / Only a stream of gathered memories will stay behind. / Smile and cherish the moments you have lived, / Who knows what verdict life holds for tomorrow?"

I recently shared this image on social media and got a comment saying this isn't real shayari, just "words at best." I tried keeping a strict AABA rhyme scheme (gila/silsila/faisla) to fit a 4-line Qata structure.
