Na tha kuch toh khuda…

Na tha kuch toh khuda tha, kuch na hota toh khuda hota,
Duboya mujh ko hone ne, na hota main toh kya hota.
– Mir Taqi Mir

Hindi:
ना था कुछ तो ख़ुदा था, कुछ ना होता तो ख़ुदा होता,
डुबोया मुझ को होने ने, ना होता मैं तो क्या होता।
– मीर तक़ी मीर

English Translation:
When there was nothing, God was; had there been nothing, He still would be.
My existence drowned me; had I not been, what would have been?
