laayii hayaat aaye, qazaa le chalii chale

apnii khushii na aaye, na apnii khushii chale

*ham saa bhi ab bisaat pe kam hogaa bad-qamaar

jo chaal hum chale voh boh’t hi burii chale

behtar to hai yahii ki na duniyaa se dil lage

par kyaa kareN jo kaam na be-dil-lagii chale

ho umr-e-Khizr bhii to ma’aluum vaqt-e-marg

hum kyaa rahe yahaaN, abhii aaye abhii chale

duniaa ne kis kaa raah-e-fanaa meN diyaa hai saath

tum bhii chale chalo yuuN hi jab tak chalii chale
