duniya meri bala jaane mahngi hai ya sasti hai
duniyā merī balā jaane mahñgī hai yā sastī hai
maut mile to muft na luuñ hastī kī kyā hastī hai
ābādī bhī dekhī hai vīrāne bhī dekhe haiñ
jo ujḌe aur phir na base dil vo nirālī bastī hai
ḳhud jo na hone kā ho adam kyā use honā kahte haiñ
niist na ho to hast nahīñ ye hastī kyā hastī hai
ijz-e-gunāh ke dam tak haiñ ismat-e-kāmil ke jalve
pastī hai to bulandī hai rāz-e-bulandī pastī hai
jaan sī shai bik jaatī hai ek nazar ke badle meñ
aage marzī gāhak kī in dāmoñ to sastī hai
vahshat-e-dil se phirnā hai apne ḳhudā se phir jaanā
dīvāne ye hosh nahīñ ye to hosh-parastī hai
jag suunā hai tere baġhair āñkhoñ kā kyā haal huā
jab bhī duniyā bastī thī ab bhī duniyā bastī hai
aañsū the so ḳhushk hue jī hai ki umDā aatā hai
dil pe ghaTā sī chhā.ī hai khultī hai na barastī hai
dil kā ujaḌnā sahl sahī basnā sahl nahīñ zālim
bastī basnā khel nahīñ baste baste bastī hai
'fānī' jis meñ aañsū kyā dil ke lahū kā kaal na thā
haa.e vo aañkh ab paanī kī do būñdoñ ko tarastī hai
duniya meri bala jaane mahngi hai ya sasti hai
maut mile to muft na lun hasti ki kya hasti hai
aabaadi bhi dekhi hai virane bhi dekhe hain
jo ujDe aur phir na base dil wo nirali basti hai
KHud jo na hone ka ho adam kya use hona kahte hain
nist na ho to hast nahin ye hasti kya hasti hai
ijz-e-gunah ke dam tak hain ismat-e-kaamil ke jalwe
pasti hai to bulandi hai raaz-e-bulandi pasti hai
jaan si shai bik jati hai ek nazar ke badle mein
aage marzi gahak ki in damon to sasti hai
wahshat-e-dil se phirna hai apne KHuda se phir jaana
diwane ye hosh nahin ye to hosh-parasti hai
jag suna hai tere baghair aankhon ka kya haal hua
jab bhi duniya basti thi ab bhi duniya basti hai
aansu the so KHushk hue ji hai ki umDa aata hai
dil pe ghaTa si chhai hai khulti hai na barasti hai
dil ka ujaDna sahl sahi basna sahl nahin zalim
basti basna khel nahin baste baste basti hai
'fani' jis mein aansu kya dil ke lahu ka kal na tha
hae wo aankh ab pani ki do bundon ko tarasti hai
