ai 'fana' shukr hai aaj baad-e-fana

1 / 1: Couplet

ai 'fana' shukr hai aaj baad-e-fana us ne rakh li mere pyar ki aabru

apne haathon se us ne meri qabr pe

oh ‘fana’, am glad on this day of death

she came to respect and honor my love

with her own hands she spread flowers

on my graveyard…’twas so thrilling
