tabib kahte hain juz wahm-e-khwab kuchh bhi nahin
to kya jo hum ne sahe wo azab kuchh bhi nahin

hamari dasht-nawardi tumhaare kaam aai
tumhein ye kaun batata sarab kuchh bhi nahin

nazir us ki main kya dun ki samne us ke
charagh mah sitara gulab kuchh bhi nahin

tamam umr kiya main ne kar-e-la-hasil
ki madh-e-husn-e-butan ka sawab kuchh bhi nahin

koi latif si shai ho to hum piyen saqi
hum ahl-e-dil ki nazar mein sharab kuchh bhi nahin

agar mein jazb na kar panw raushni 'kashif'
to mah kuchh bhi nahin aaftab kuchh bhi nahin
