laa_ii hayaat aaye qazaa le chalii chale
Ibrahim Zauq
laa_ii hayaat aaye qazaa le chalii chale
na apanii Khushii aaye na apanii Khushii chale
[qazaa = death]
bahatar to hai yahii ke na duniyaaa se dil lage
par kyaa kare.n jo kaam na be_dillagii chale
ho umr-e-Khizr bhii to kahe.nge baa_vaqt-e-marg
ham kyaa rahe yahaa.N abhii aaye abhii chale
[Khizr = one with long life/immortal; baa_waqt-e-marg = at the time of death ]
duniyaa ne kis kaa raah-e-fanaa me.n diyaa hai saath
tum bhii chale chalo yuu.N hii jab tak chalii chale
[fanaa = destruction/end]
naazaa.N na ho Khird pe jo honaa hai vo hii ho
daanish terii na kuchh merii daanish_varii chale
[naazaa.N hona = to be proud; Khird = wisdom; daanish = intellect]
kam ho.nge is bisaat pe ham jaise bad_qimaar
jo chaal ham chale vo nihaayat burii chale
[bad_qimaar = jinxed/one with bad luck]
jaate havaa-e-shauq me.n hai.n is chaman se 'Zauq'
apanii balaa se baad-e-sabaa kabhii chale
[baad = wind]
