Sher on Maut
Even though it is bitter,
death is the ultimately reality. Human beings have been constantly preoccupied with the idea of death. Sometimes, it is welcome while at others, it is scary. As such, poets in every generation have tried to unravel its reality without ever finding an answer. Some of these verses will tell you about death as an idea as well an experience.
maut kā bhī ilaaj ho shāyad
zindagī kā koī ilaaj nahīñ
for death a cure there well may be
but for this life no remedy
maut ka bhi ilaj ho shayad
zindagi ka koi ilaj nahin
for death a cure there well may be
but for this life no remedy
