Gam-e-hayaat kaa jaga.Daa miTaa rahaa hai ko_ii
chale bhii aao ke duniyaa se jaa rahaa hai ko_ii

[Gam-e-hayaat = sorrows of life]

kaho ajal se zaraa do gha.Dii Thahar jaaye
sunaa hai aane kaa vaadaa nibhaa rahaa hai ko_ii

[ajal = death]

vo aaj lipate hai.n kis naazukii se lashe ko

hasiin haatho.n se mayyat sajaa rahaa hai ko_ii

[nabz = pulse; mayyat = corpse]
