qatra dariya-e-ashnai hai
kya teri shan-e-kibriyai hai

teri marzi jo dekh pai hai
khalish-e-dard ki ban aai hai

wahm ko bhi tera nishan na mila
na-rasai si na-rasai hai

kaun dil hai jo dardmand nahin
kya tere dard ki khudai hai

jalwa-e-yar ka bhikari hun
shash-jihat kasa-e-gadai hai

maut aati hai tum na aaoge
tum na aae to maut aai hai

bichh gae rah-e-yar mein kante
kis ko uzr-e-barhana-pai hai

tark-e-ummid bas ki baat nahin
warna ummid kab bar aai hai

muzhda-e-jannat-e-visal hai maut
zindagi mahshar-e-judai hai

aarzu phir hai dar-pa-e-tadbir
sai-e-nakaam ki duhai hai

maut hi sath de to de 'fani'
umr ko uzr-e-bewafai hai
