kaun chirkaal jeena chahta hai


Explanation:
I agree with other's suggestions but I suggest following to give it a literary touch.

-kaun chirkaal jeena chahta hai

kaun - who
chirkaal - forever(other meanings of forever are sada, hamesha as suggested by other prozs)
jeena chahta hai - wants to live

"kaun hamesha ke liye ginda rahna chahta hai"


Explanation:
actually every living being which takes birth must die one or other day it is the philosophy of life.this cannot be changed and modified but some ancient people like "TAPASVIS AND MUNIS" used to live many hundred of years that is the power of "TAPASYA" so it is not possible for an ordinary human being to live such a long years.the actual meaning of this phrase is no body cannot live for a long years so how can it possible to live and who also wants to live for such a long years.
