This is a poem written by Moeen Ahsan Jazbi (1912-2005). It is a wonderful, yet dark piece of beautiful Urdu poetry...
Maut
Jeene ki du'ain kyun maangoun, marne ki tamana kaun kare
Yeh duniya ho ya woh duniya, ub khwaish-e-duniya kaun kare
Jub kishti saabit aur saalem thi, saahil ki tamana kis ko thi
Ub aisi shikista kishti per sahil ki tamana kaun kare
Jo aag lagaayee thee tum ne us ko to bhujaaya ashkon se
Jo ashkon ne bharrhkaayee hai us aag ko thhanda kaun kare
Duniya ne humein chorrha Jazbi, Hum chhorrh na dein kyun duniya ko
Duniya ko samajh ker baithe hain, Ub duniya duniya kaun kare
