نہ جانا کہ دنیا سے جاتا ہے کوئی
بہت دیر کی مہرباں آتے آتے
داغؔ دہلوی –
Na jaana ki duniya se jaata hai koii
bahut der kar dii meherbaaN aate aate
– Dagh Dehlvi
न जाना कि दुनिया से जाता है कोई
बहुत देर की मेहरबाँ आते आते
– दाग़ देहलवी

You had no inkling that some depart from this world, that’s fate
you took your sweet time, o kind one, but you arrived late!
