surat-e-waqiat kuchh bhi nahin
chubh gai warna baat kuchh bhi nahin

ye charagh-e-hayat kuchh bhi nahin
jab hui khatm raat kuchh bhi nahin

dastan-e-hayat kya kahiye
dastan-e-hayat kuchh bhi nahin

sach to ye hai ki be-rukhi ke baghair
qimat-e-iltifat kuchh bhi nahin

ishq ki kaenat ke sadqe
husn ki kaenat kuchh bhi nahin
