झूठ चाहे धीरे से ही बोलो
तो भी सब सुन लेंगे
और सच अगर चिल्ला-चिल्लाकर भी कहो
तो भी कोई सुनने वाला नहीं मिलेगा।
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ye Kaliyug hai Janaab
Jhooth chahay dheeray say hee kaho
to bhi sab sun lengay
to bhi sab sun lengay
Aur Sach agar chilla chilla kay bhi kaho
to bhi koyi sunanay waala nahin milega.

Such is the age we live in, my friends —
Whisper a lie, and it will echo everywhere.
Gossip, even when spoken softly, spreads swiftly among the masses.
But the truth, no matter how loudly it is proclaimed -
hardly finds anyone willing to listen.
