Hasti - Life; Existence

Haan khaeyo mat fareb-e-hasti
har chand kahe ke hai nahin hai

- 'Ghalib'
 

Maqaam aur bhi hai danish aazmaa lekin
Taasme hasti faani ! tera jawab nahin

- 'Ali Akhtar'
 

Kitne hi kathin lamhe aaye meri hasti mein
Afsos wafa meri mujh ko hi na raas aaiyee

- 'Taabish'
 

 
Nahin ma'aloom kis haalat mein hoon main bagh-e-'aalam mein Qafas waale bhi mujh ko dekh kar faryaad karte hain
