(Though   I am not  an expert in Urdu, I love their poems  .I am great fan of Gulzar.I hope he will pardon me for my shoddy attempt)

Oh life    , please go slowly,

There   are several  loans   to be repaid

There are some pains to be cured,

There  are  several duties be done

By going    with speed,

Some have become angry, some have left

To make angry   people agree  is remaining

To make   sad people   laugh is remaing

Some smiles   are still   not reachable

Some work also  needs definitely   to be done

The wishes   which ae remaining  in this mind,

They remain to be buried

Some relations which were  formed  , broke down

Some which were uniting, left   getting united

Of those   broken relations,

The   curing  of those  wounds  needs to be done

You go in front and I will come,

Can I afford to  leave you and go?

They who have the right to these breaths

Understanding them  remains to be done

Oh life go slowly,

Now several loans remain to be repaid

Original text

Ahista chal Zindagi,

Abhi kai Karz Chukana baaki hai.

Kuch Dard Mitana baaki hai,

Kuch Farz Nibhana baaki hai.

Raftaar mein Tere chalne se -

Kuchh Rooth gaye, Kuch Chhut gaye.

Roothon ko Manana baaki hai,

Roton ko Hasana baaki hai.

Kuch Hasraatein abhi Adhuri hain,

Kuch Kaam bhi aur Zaruri hai.

Khwahishen jo Ghut Gayi is Dil mein,

Unko Dafnana baaki hai.

Kuch Rishte Ban kar - Toot gaye,

Kuch Judte-Judte Chhut gaye.

Un Tootte-Chhutte Rishton ke

Zakhmon ko Mitana baki hai.

Tu Aage chal Main aata hoon,

Kya chhod Tujhe Ji paunga ?

In Saanson par Haqq hai Jinka,

Unko Samjhaana baaki hai.

Aahista chal Zindagi,

Abhi kai Karz Chukana baaki hai ....
