maut to yaqini hai

is tarah satāte ho

dūriyāñ baḌhāte ho

dūriyāñ baḌhāne se

fāsle nahīñ baḌhte

hausle nahīñ ghaTte

manziloñ ko paane kā

azm jo bhī kartā hai

vo qadam baḌhātā hai

chāñd chhū ke aatā hai

taare toḌ laatā hai

thak ke baiTh jaanā to

maut kī alāmat hai

aur merā īmāñ hai

maut to yaqīnī hai

vaqt par hī aa.egī

phir maiñ kis liye āḳhir

rok luuñ qadam apne

maut ke farishte ko

rū-ba-rū khaḌā pā kar

is tarah satate ho

duriyan baDhate ho

duriyan baDhane se

fasle nahin baDhte

hausle nahin ghaTte

manzilon ko pane ka

azm jo bhi karta hai

wo qadam baDhata hai

chand chhu ke aata hai

tare toD lata hai

thak ke baiTh jaana to

maut ki alamat hai

aur mera iman hai

maut to yaqini hai

waqt par hi aaegi

phir main kis liye aaKHir

rok lun qadam apne

maut ke farishte ko

ru-ba-ru khaDa pa kar
