Na tha kuch to ḳhudā

Na tha kuch to ḳhudā thā, kuch na hotā to ḳhudā hotā,
Duboyā mujh ko hone ne, na hotā maiñ to kyā hotā.
– 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, there was God; had there been nothing, God still would be.
It was my being that drowned me—had I not existed, what would have happened to me?
