haa.N kis ko hai mayassar ye kaam kar guzaranaa
haa.N kis ko hai mayassar ye kaam kar guzaranaa
ik baa.Nkpan se jiinaa ik baa.Nkpan se maranaa
[mayassar = available; baa.Nkpan = jauntiness]
dariyaa kii zindagii par sadqe hazaar jaane
mujh ko nahii.n gavaaraa saahil kii maut maranaa
saahil ke lab se puuchho dariyaa ke dil se puuchho
ik mauj-e-tah-nashii.n kaa muddat ke baad ubharanaa
[mauj-e-tah-nashii.n = wave that was sitting at the bottom]
jo ziist ko na samajhe jo maut ko na jaane
jiinaa unhii.n kaa jiinaa maranaa unhii.n kaa maranaa
[ziist = life]
