Karwan-e-hayat

ye kaun kahta hai insan ka karwan-e-hayat

palaT ke aane ko hai be-gunahi ki jaanib

wahi gunah wahi masiyat wahi badbu

wahi hai dard wahi karwaTen wahi pahlu

wahi fasad wahi shar hi tamarrud hai

dimagh-o-dil pe musallat wahi tashaddud hai

ye kaun kahta hai insan ka karwan-e-hayat

palaT ke aane ko hai be-gunahi ki jaanib

main dekhta hun ki insan ka karwan-e-hayat

ujala chhoD chala hai siyahi ki jaanib

siyahi jaise samundar ki thah mein pinhan

siyahi jaise KHam-e-dud-e-ah mein pinhan

siyahi jaise ghaTa-Top raat se zahir

siyahi jaise munafiq ki baat se zahir

main dekhta hun ki insan ka karwan-e-hayat

ujala chhoD chala hai siyahi ki jaanib

main jaanta hun ki insan ka karwan-e-hayat

rawan-dawan to hai lekin tabahi ki jaanib

tabahi jis mein jahannam ka ghaar poshida

tabahi jis mein hai har fard zahar-noshida

tabahi jis mein hai har ghat ghat mein jumut

tabahi jis mein nihan maut ka jumud-o-sukut

main jaanta hun ki insan ka karwan-e-hayat

rawan-dawan to hai lekin tabahi ki jaanib
