zindagi aur maut
maut ik ḳhvāb hai ajzā-e-badan kā hamdam
zindagī naam hai ehsās kī bedārī kā
maut jis rah-guzar-e-shauq meñ rahzan kā naqāb
zindagī raḳht isī rāh-e-talab-gārī kā
zindagī jism-o-dil-o-jāñ kī munazzam quvvat
maut iz.hār pareshānī-o-lāchārī kā
maut sahrāoñ meñ bikhre hue zarroñ kā ġhubār
zindagī naqsh unhī zarroñ kī chaman kaarī kā
maut be-mā.egī dāmān-e-zamīñ kī goyā
zindagī silsila bādal kī guhar-bārī kā
zindagī qāfila-e-sa.ī kī paiham tag-o-dau
maut dam-bhar ke liye vaqfa hai bekārī kā
zindagī kā jise ma.alūm ho matlab us ko
maut kā ḳhauf na gardūñ kī tabah-kārī kā
maut ek KHwab hai ajza-e-badan ka hamdam
zindagi nam hai ehsas ki bedari ka
maut jis rah-guzar-e-shauq mein rahzan ka naqab
zindagi raKHt isi rah-e-talab-gari ka
zindagi jism-o-dil-o-jaan ki munazzam quwwat
maut izhaar pareshani-o-lachaari ka
maut sahraon mein bikhre hue zarron ka ghubar
zindagi naqsh unhi zarron ki chaman kari ka
maut be-maegi daman-e-zamin ki goya
zindagi silsila baadal ki guhar-bari ka
zindagi qafila-e-sai ki paiham tag-o-dau
maut dam-bhar ke liye waqfa hai bekari ka
zindagi ka jise malum ho matlab us ko
maut ka KHauf na gardun ki tabah-kari ka
