kyā bhuul ga.e haiñ vo mujhe pūchhnā qāsid

naama koī muddat se mire kaam na aayā

kya bhul gae hain wo mujhe puchhna qasid

nama koi muddat se mere kaam na aaya

is jahāñ meñ nahīñ koī ahl-e-vafā

ai 'fanā' is jahāñ se kinārā karo

is jahan mein nahin koi ahl-e-wafa

ai 'fana' is jahan se kinara karo

uThā parda to mahshar bhī uThegā dīda-e-dil meñ

qayāmat chhup ke baiThī hai naqāb-e-rū-e-qātil meñ

uTha parda to mahshar bhi uThega dida-e-dil mein

qayamat chhup ke baiThi hai naqab-e-ru-e-qatil mein

āġhāz to achchhā thā 'fanā' din bhī bhale the

phir raas mujhe ishq kā anjām na aayā

aaghaz to achchha tha 'fana' din bhi bhale the

phir ras mujhe ishq ka anjam na aaya

ai 'fanā' merī mayyat pe kahte haiñ vo

aap ne apnā va.ada vafā kar diyā

ai 'fana' meri mayyat pe kahte hain wo

aap ne apna wada wafa kar diya
