Laayi hayaat aaye qaza le chali chale

Life brought us here, then in decay, we pass on by. We did not choose to come or stay; we simply pass on by.

A timeless life would fade away; its final hour is nigh. We are but guests of yesterday who quickly pass on by.

On life's great board, few play so poor a game as I; Each move I chose was played astray, and so I pass on by.

It’s best to turn from worldly sway, and let its pleasures lie; But nothing works along the way, if passions pass on by.

When Layla's camel heard Qais's mournful lay, it spurned the driver's cry; By love's own power it went another way, and chose to pass on by.

Let reason's pride not lead astray; what's destined will hold high. Your clever plans won't win the day, they'll simply pass on by.

The world helps no one on the way to where we all must die; So walk as long as you still may, and simply pass on by.

My passion, Zauq, now shows the way from this world's garden high; Who cares if morning breezes play? It's time to pass on by.
