"whether tomorrow may exist or not"

Explanation:
It is general and common saying expression in hindi because according one saint in his lyrics he explains about the future and warns the human beings that be alert and do the things at right time because nobody knows whether tomorrow comes for us or not, there is no guarantee for life so be prepared to do things at right time and avoid last minut tensions.
