maut hī chāra-sāz-e-furqat hai
rañj marne kā mujh ko rāhat hai
ho chukā vasl vaqt-e-ruḳhsat hai
ai ajal jald aa ki fursat hai
roz kī daad kaun devegā
zulm karnā tumhārī aadat hai
kārvāñ umr kā hai raḳht-ba-dosh
har nafs bāñg-e-kos-e-rehlat hai
saañs ik phāñs sī khaTaktī hai
dam nikaltā nahīñ musībat hai
tum bhī apne 'hayā' ko dekh aao
aaj us kī kuchh aur hālat hai
