jaan chiz kya hai jaan se guzarte to dekhte

jaañ chiiz kyā hai jaañ se guzarte to dekhte

jī jaan se kisī pe jo marte to dekhte

jannat ko chhoḌnā to koī chiiz hī nahīñ

mamnūa meva koī katarte to dekhte

girne meñ Dūbne meñ ubharne meñ kyā hai lutf

dariyā meñ ek baar utarte to dekhte

sardī hai kyā jo dhuup meñ jalte to jānte

garmī hai kis kā naam ThiThurte to dekhte

jānoñ par apnī khel ga.e kis maze se log

ham tan kī itnī fikr na karte to dekhte

kahtī thī lomḌī hai kuleloñ meñ kyā maza

jangal kī ghaas sher jo charte to dekhte

'muztar' shaġhāl-nafs ḳhatarnāk thā bahut

ham itnī dekh-bhāl na karte to dekhte

jaan chiz kya hai jaan se guzarte to dekhte

ji jaan se kisi pe jo marte to dekhte

jannat ko chhoDna to koi chiz hi nahin

mamnua mewa koi katarte to dekhte

girne mein Dubne mein ubharne mein kya hai lutf

dariya mein ek bar utarte to dekhte

sardi hai kya jo dhup mein jalte to jaante

garmi hai kis ka nam ThiThurte to dekhte

jaanon par apni khel gae kis maze se log

hum tan ki itni fikr na karte to dekhte

kahti thi lomDi hai kulelon mein kya maza

jangal ki ghas sher jo charte to dekhte

'muztar' shaghaal-nafs KHatarnak tha bahut

hum itni dekh-bhaal na karte to dekhte
