Ashaar of Pandit Shaeq Warsi
jise kahte haiñ maut ik be-ḳhudī kī niiñd hai 'shā.eq'
pareshānī hai jis kā naam vo hai zindagī apnī
jise kahte hain maut ek be-KHudi ki nind hai 'shaeq'
pareshani hai jis ka nam wo hai zindagi apni
kar diyā hai be-ḳhudī ne aaj is qābil mujhe
apne pahlū meñ liye letī hai ḳhud manzil mujhe
kar diya hai be-KHudi ne aaj is qabil mujhe
apne pahlu mein liye leti hai KHud manzil mujhe
aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
