Here's a Hindi poem from Hindi movie "Lage Raho Munna Bhai". I've edited and extended this poem which is originally called "Shehar Ki Is Daud Me".. I've translated it in English too for fellows who don't understand Hindi. (Good thing is that however, it's still rhyming)
Zindagi ki is daud me, daudkar karna kya hai??
Yahi jeena hai yaaron, to phir marna kya hai??
Pehli baarish me train chhootne ki fikr hai,
Bhool gaye bheegte hue tehalna kya hai..
Serial ke saare kirdaaron ke haal to maaloon hain,
Par maa ka haal poochhne ki fursat kahan hai..
Ab ret par nange paanv tehalte kyon nahi??
T.V. par itne channel hain, phir bhi man behalte kyon nahi??
Internet par saari duniya to touch me hai,
Par pados me kaun rehta hai ye jaante tak nahi..
Mobile, landline, sabki bharmaar hai,
Par jigri dost tak pahunche, kahaan aise taar hain??
Kab doobte sooraj ko dekha tha, yaad hai??
Kab jaana tha, wo shaam ka guzarna kya hai??
To dosto apna har pal aise jiyo jaise ho ek nayi zindagi
Baaki saari duniyadaari me aakhir rakha hi kya hai??
Zindagi ki is daud me, daudkar karna kya hai??
Yahi jeena hai yaaron, to phir marna kya hai??
Zindagi ki is daud me, daudkar karna kya hai??
Yahi jeena hai yaaron, to phir marna kya hai??
Pehli baarish me train chhootne ki fikr hai,
Bhool gaye bheegte hue tehalna kya hai..
Serial ke saare kirdaaron ke haal to maaloon hain,
Par maa ka haal poochhne ki fursat kahan hai..
Ab ret par nange paanv tehalte kyon nahi??
T.V. par itne channel hain, phir bhi man behalte kyon nahi??
Internet par saari duniya to touch me hai,
Par pados me kaun rehta hai ye jaante tak nahi..
Mobile, landline, sabki bharmaar hai,
Par jigri dost tak pahunche, kahaan aise taar hain??
Kab doobte sooraj ko dekha tha, yaad hai??
Kab jaana tha, wo shaam ka guzarna kya hai??
To dosto apna har pal aise jiyo jaise ho ek nayi zindagi
Baaki saari duniyadaari me aakhir rakha hi kya hai??
Zindagi ki is daud me, daudkar karna kya hai??
Yahi jeena hai yaaron, to phir marna kya hai??
Translation / English Version -
Striving for vain, in this life’s strife.
What will you call death, if this is life??
Worrying about missing the train,
But forgot the joy of walking in the rain??
Know about every actress and actor,
But have no time to ask about health of mother..
Why don't you now walk barefoot on sand??
Not even with all the luxuries, actually entertained
To whole world, are connected on the internet,
But don't know the old neighbours yet!!
Of means of communications, there's no fewness,
But still need to find connections to reach true friends..
Don’t remember seeing a beautiful sunset!!
Or what a fun always was every evening's end??
So live every moment as if a whole new life,
Everything except life is rife..
So for what else is your everyday strife??
Why are you running in this race of life??
