ye zindagī safar hai Thahar hī na jā.iye
ye bhī ki be-ḳhayāl guzar hī na jā.iye
sahrā-e-haul-ḳhez meñ rahiye liye-diye
reg-e-ravāñ ke saath bikhar hī na jā.iye
jab Dūbnā hī tai hai ubharnā muhāl hai
daldal hai dil fareb utar hī na jā.iye
un rāstoñ meñ raat bhaTaktī hai be-sabab
aisā bhī ḳhauf kyā hai jo ghar hī na jā.iye
ab ke safar meñ hai ye nayā zābta janāb
jaanā jidhar hai aap udhar hī na jā.iye
betāb maut kī ye lalak zindagī bhī hai
yuuñ intizār-e-maut meñ mar hī na jā.iye
