kya zamin kya aasman kuchh bhi nahin
hum na hon to ye jahan kuchh bhi nahin

dida-o-dil ki rifaqat ke baghair
fasl-e-gul ho ya khizan kuchh bhi nahin

pattharon mein hum bhi patthar ho gae
ab gham-e-sud-o-ziyan kuchh bhi nahin

kya qayamat hai ki apne des mein
e'tibar-e-jism-o-jaan kuchh bhi nahin

kaise kaise sar-kashida log the
jin ka ab nam-o-nishan kuchh bhi nahin

ek ehsas-e-mohabbat ke siwa
hasil-e-umr-e-rawan kuchh bhi nahin

koi mauzu-e-sukhan hi jab na ho
sirf andaz-e-bayan kuchh bhi nahin
