marnā to behtar hai jo mar jā.iye
jī se kisī ke na utar jā.iye
qatl to kartā nahīñ vo kis tarah
us ke gunāhgār Thahar jā.iye
kyā likhūñ tāqat nahīñ ai nāma-bar
marne hī kī le ke ḳhabar jā.iye
aa.e ho gar yaañ talak ai mehrbāñ
baiThe koī dam to Thahar jā.iye
sū-e-haram yā taraf-e-but-kada
al-ġharaz ai shaiḳh jidhar jā.iye
donoñ jagah jalva-gah-e-yār hai
ḳhvāh idhar ḳhvāh udhar jā.iye
