tha koi ya nahin tha jo kuchh tha
dil ke andar kahin tha jo kuchh tha

tu bhi apne se khush-guman tha bahut
main bhi apne tain tha jo kuchh tha

shahr-e-khuban mein wo wafa-dushman
khubsurat-tarin tha jo kuchh tha

durd-e-mai thi ki talkhi-e-hasti
jam mein tah-nashin tha jo kuchh tha

chhod aae abas dar-e-jaanan
yar sab kuchh wahin tha jo kuchh tha

ishq iksir tha dilon ke liye
zahar tha angbin tha jo kuchh tha

hosh aaya to ab khula hai 'faraaz'
main to kuchh bhi nahin tha jo kuchh tha
