moot, death

Zindagi ki moot manzil, moot he asl-e-wajood
Moot he sab ka muqaddar , moot he he hast-o-bood

Moot ne afsha kiya raaz-e-hayat-e-baad-e-moot
Yaad reh jati he dil mai.N , khatm hota he wajood

Moot ki janib he jati he her ik rah-e-hayat
Moot ki had mai.N hai.N goya zindagani ki hadood

Zindagani ke tarazo mai.N bawajh-e-baar-e-moot
Kawaishai.N be wazn hai.N sab zindagi ki misl-e-dood

Moot se bach ker koi bhi jaa nahi.N sakta yaha.N
Moot he dene ko kerta he chaman gul ki namood
