There is lamentation everywhere, from the hand of death!
In every place, in every habitation, from the hand of death!

'The form of man HE created for the sake of death itself;
And evil and misery, in this world, came from the hand of death!

The whole of the prophets and saints, that have ever existed,
Have all been hidden in the earth, by the hand of death!

Surely, and without doubt, in the end shall be brought
Ruin and desolation on these fair abodes, by the hand of death!

Come! do thou, too, occupy thyself in laying by viaticum for thy journey;
For whole caravans have been dispatched, by the hand of death!

O Khushhal! though in body thou shouldst a Shah Julian be,
Even then, thou wouldst depart in sorrow, from the hand of death!
