shaeri kawish-e-paiham ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin
aur is kawish-e-paiham ka sila kuchh bhi nahin

zar-paraston ko to ab khauf-e-khuda kuchh bhi nahin
pas-e-din pas-e-adab pas-e-wafa kuchh bhi nahin

roz-o-shab aatish-e-jazbaat mein jalte rahna
aashiqi soz-e-musalsal ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin

kaun ye ruh ko aawaz diye jata hai
hama-tan-gosh hun main aur sada kuchh bhi nahin

aap bhi hon mere hamrah to kuchh baat bane
warna in chandni raaton ka maza kuchh bhi nahin

zindagi hi mein gunahon ki saza milti hai
hashr kuchh chiz nahin roz-e-jaza kuchh bhi nahin

daur-e-hazir ki shariat mein rawa hai sab kuchh
narawa kuchh bhi nahin aur bura kuchh bhi nahin

kya kaha waqt-e-musibat koi kaam aaega
aap ko fitrat-e-insan ka pata kuchh bhi nahin

aazmaya hai bahut apnon ko beganon ko
mujh ko ab ahl-e-zamana se gila kuchh bhi nahin

gham mila ranj mila tum ko mohabbat mein 'bahaar'
phir bhi kahte ho mohabbat mein dhara kuchh bhi nahin
