aagah apni maut se koi bashar nahin
saman sau baras ka hai pal ki KHabar nahin

the time of his death, man cannot foresee
uncertain of the morrow yet, plans for a century

Hairat Allahabadi

apna hi haal tak na khula mujh ko ta-ba-marg
main kaun hun kahan se chala tha kahan gaya

Hairat Allahabadi

---

kaha aashiq se waqif ho to farmaya nahin waqif
magar han is taraf se ek na-mahram nikalta hai

Hairat Allahabadi

na to kuchh fikr mein hasil hai na tadbir mein hai
wahi hota hai jo insan ki taqdir mein hai

there is naught from worrying, nor from planning gained
for everything that happens is by fate ordained

Hairat Allahabadi
