Caprice

yeh jeevan hai
is jeevan mein 
majboori kahin kabhi kam nahin

aap majboor hain
aapke jaise ham apni majboori se 
majboor
aapki majboori na sweekar

jo kahte hain majboor nahin 
voh unki majboori hai

to akhir jeevan hi majboori hai

------------------------------------
my loose translation:

this life
what a life
caprice seeking its justification

yours not acceptable to me
because I am tied down by mine
wherever it came from
in the way I evolved
or fell

those who claim to be beyond
these bonds of helplessness
are themselves slaves to their claim

is it not therefore life itself
which is contradictory and capricious
