zindagī is tarah guzārī hai
silsila ḳhatm saañs jaarī hai

dard ġham ashk aur māyūsī
terī ummīd sab pe bhārī hai

maiñ ne DhūñDhī to muḳhtasar paa.ī
duniyā jo dikhtī itnī saarī hai

āñkheñ Dho kar ke thak ga.ī hoñgī
niiñd kā bojh sach meñ bhārī hai

khel khelā thā umr kā lekin
maut jiitī hayāt haarī hai

zindagi is tarah guzari hai
silsila KHatm sans jari hai

dard gham ashk aur mayusi
teri ummid sab pe bhaari hai

main ne DhunDhi to muKHtasar pai
duniya jo dikhti itni sari hai

aankhen Dho kar ke thak gai hongi
nind ka bojh sach mein bhaari hai

khel khela tha umr ka lekin
maut jiti hayat haari hai
