Fana

duniya men koi shaad koi dard-nak hai

ya khush hai ya alam ke sabab sina-chak hai

har ek dam se jaan ka har-dam tapak hai

napak tan palid najis ya ki paak hai

jo khaak se bana hai vo akhir ko khaak hai

hai aadmi ki zaat ka us ja bada zuhur

le arsh ta-ba-farsh chamakta hai jis ka nuur

guzre hai un ki qabr pe jab vahsh aur tuyur

ro ro yahi kahe hai har ik qabr ke huzur

jo khaak se bana hai vo akhir ko khaak hai

duniya se jab ki ambiya aur auliya uthe

ajsam-e-pak un ke isi khaak men rahe

ruhen hain khuub jaan men ruhon ke hain maze

par jism se to ab yahi sabit hua mujhe

jo khaak se bana hai vo akhir ko khaak hain

vo shakhs the jo saat vilayat ke badshah

hashmat men jin ki arsh se unchi thi bargah

marte hi un ke tan hue galiyon ki khak-e-rah

ab un ke haal ki bhi yahi baat hai gavah

jo khaak se bana hai vo akhir ko khaak hai

kis kis tarah ke ho gae mahbub-e-kaj-kulah

tan jin ke misl-e-phul the aur munh bhi rashk-e-mah

jaati hai un ki qabr pe jis-dam miri nigah

rota huun jab to main yahi kah kah ke dil men aah

jo khaak se bana hai vo akhir ko khaak hai

vo gore gore tan ki jinhon ki thi dil men jaae

hote the maile un ke koi haath gar lagae

so vaise tan ko khaak bana kar hava udaae

rona mujhe to aata hai ab kya kahun main haae

jo khaak se bana hai vo akhir ko khaak hai

umdon ke tan ko tanbe ke sanduq men dhara

muflis ka tan pada raha mati-upar pada

qaaem yahan ye aur na sabit vo vaan raha

donon ko khaak kha gai yaaro kahun men kya

jo khaak se bana hai vo akhir ko khaak hai

gar ek ko hazar ruupe ka mila kafan

aur ek yuun pada raha hai be-kas barhana-tan

kiide makode kha gae donon ke tan-badan

dekha jo ham ne aah to sach hai yahi sukhan

jo khaak se bana hai vo akhir ko khaak hai

jitne jahan men naach hain kangni se ta-gehun

aur jitne meva-jat hain tar khushk gunagun

kapde jahan talak hain sapida o siyah numun

kim-khvab taash badila kis kis ka naam luun

jo khaak se bana hai vo akhir ko khaak hai

jitne darakht dekho ho buute se ta-ba-jhad

bad pipal aanb niib chhuara khajur taad

sab khaak honge jab ki fana dalegi ukhad

kiya buute dhedh paat ke kya jhaad kya pahad

jo khaak se bana hai vo akhir ko khaak hai

jitna ye khaak ka hai tilismat ban raha

phir khaak us ko hota hai yaaro juda juda

tarkari saag paat zahr amrit aur dava

zar siim kaudi laal zamurrad aur in sava

jo khaak se bana hai vo akhir ko khaak hai

gadh coat top rahakla tegh o kaman-o-tir

bagh-o-chaman mahall-o-makanat dil-pazir

hona hai sab ko aah isi khaak men khamir

meri zaban pe ab to yahi baat hai ‘nazir’

jo khaak se bana hai vo akhir ko khaak hai
