'maal-e-soz-e-Gam haa_e! nihaanii dekhate jaao

bha.Dak uThii hai shammaa-e-zi.ndagaanii dekhate jaao

chale bhii aao vo hai qabr-e-Fani dekhate jaao

tum apane marane vaale kii nishaanii dekhate jaao

abhii kyaa hai kisii din Khuu.N rulaayegaa ye Khaamoshii

zubaan-e-haal ki jadd-o-bayaanii dekhate jaao

Garuur-e-husn kaa sadaqaa ko_ii jaataa hai duniyaa se

kisii kii Khaak me.n milatii javaanii dekhate jaao

udhar muu.Nh pher kar kyaa zibaah karate ho, idhar dekho!

merii gardan pe Kha.njar kii ravanii dekhate jaao

bahaar-e-zindagii kaa lutf dekhaa hai aur dekhoge

kisii kaa aish marg-e-naagahaanii dekhate jaao

sune jaate na the tum se mere din raat ke shikave

kafan sarakaao merii be-zubaanii dekhate jaao

vo uThaa shor-e-maataam aaKharii diidaar-e-mayyat par

ab uThaa chaahate hai.n naash-e-Fani dekhate jaao'
