सब मिट जाएँ, बना रहेगा
sab mit jaayen, banaa rahegaa
सुन्दर साकी, यम काला,
sundar saakee, yam kaalaa
सुखें सब रस, बने रहेंगे,
sukhen sab ras, bane rahenge,
किन्तु, हलाहल औ' हाला,
kintu, halaahal au' haalaa,
धूमधाम औ' चहल-पहल के
dhoom-dhaam au' chahal-pahal ke
स्थान सभी सुनसान बनें,
sthaan sabhee sunsaan banen,
जगा करेगा अविरत मरघट,
jagaa karegaa avirat marghat,
जगा करेगी मधुशाला.
jagaa karegee madhushaalaa
Bachchan refers to death for the first time. He points out that no matter what happens, life and death are the only certainties. The bar-girl and the God of Death will always be around, no matter what gets obliterated. Bustling places may become abandoned, but the cremation grounds and the tavern will always be open.
