tiflan-e-kucha-gard ke patthar bhi kuchh nahin
sauda bhi ek wahm hai aur sar bhi kuchh nahin

main aur khud ko tujh se chhupaunga yani main
le dekh le miyan mere andar bhi kuchh nahin

bas ek gubar-e-wahm hai ek kucha-gard ka
diwar-e-bud kuchh nahin aur dar bhi kuchh nahin

ye shahr-dar-o-muhtasib-o-maulawi hi kya
pir-e-mughan-o-rind-o-qalandar bhi kuchh nahin

shaikh-e-haram-luqma ki parwa hai kyun tumhein
masjid bhi us ki kuchh nahin mimbar bhi kuchh nahin

maqdur apna kuchh bhi nahin is dayar mein
shayad wo jabr hai ki muqaddar bhi kuchh nahin

jaani main tere naf-piyale pe hun fida
ye aur baat hai tera paikar bhi kuchh nahin

ye shab ka raqs-o-rang to kya sun meri kuhan
subh-e-shitab-kosh ko daftar bhi kuchh nahin

bas ek ghubar tur-e-guman ka hai tah-ba-tah
yani nazar bhi kuchh nahin manzar bhi kuchh nahin

hai ab to ek jal sukun-e-hameshgi
parwaz ka to zikr hi kya par bhi kuchh nahin

kitna darawna hai ye shahr-e-nabud-o-bud
aisa darawna ki yahan dar bhi kuchh nahin

pahlu mein hai jo mere kahin aur hai wo shakhs
yani wafa-e-ahd ka bistar bhi kuchh nahin

nisbat mein un ki jo hai aziyyat wo hai magar
shah-rag bhi koi shai nahin aur sar bhi kuchh nahin

yaran tumhein jo mujh se gila hai to kis liye
mujh ko to e'tiraaz khuda par bhi kuchh nahin

guzregi 'jaun' shahr mein rishton ke kis tarah
dil mein bhi kuchh nahin hai zaban par bhi kuchh nahin
