Amit ji, do pal mein corona bikhar jayega

“Guzar jayega guzar jayega
Mushqil bahut hai magar waqt hi toh hai
Guzar jayega guzar jayega
Zinda rehne ka yeh jo jazba hai phir ubhar aayega
Guzar jayega guzar jayega”
(This too shall pass, this too shall pass,
It may seem difficult, but it is only a matter of time,
The passion to live life will bounce back again,
This too shall pass, this too shall pass)

These are poetical lines of Sidharth Kaushal in the baritone of Amitabh Bachchan, a song of hope. These are dark and embittered times but there is hope ahead, sings Amitabh.

‘Guzar jayega guzar jayega’ (This too shall pass) Amitabh recites the verse while appealing to people to stay at home till the bad times pass.

“Maana maut chehra badalkar aayi hai

Maana raat kaali hai bhayaawah hai gehraai hai

Magar yakeen rakh..
Magar yakeen rakh yeh bas lamha hai
Do pal mein bikhar jayega”

(Agreed, death wore a new mask,
Agreed, nights have become darker and scarier,
But, be assured this is a fleeting moment
We shall overcome this.
This too shall pass. This too shall pass.
It is but a matter of time)
