ai dil hama asbab-e-jahan saKHta gir
ai dil hama asbāb-e-jahāñ sāḳhta giir
viiñ ḳhāna pur az ne'mat-o-ārāsta giir
dar duniyā-e-fānī ki na jaa.e man-o-tust
roz-e-do seh ba-nashista-o-barkHāsta-gīr
The Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon
Turns Ashes-or it prospers; and anon,
Like Snow upon the Desert's dusty Face,
Lighting a little hour or two-is gone.
