Jism-o-jaan rakhta hun lekin ye hawala kuchh nahin

jism-o-jaan rakhta hun lekin ye hawala kuchh nahin
aap ki nisbat hai sab kuchh mera apna kuchh nahin

ishq jis kuche mein rahta hai wo kucha hai bahisht
aql jis duniya mein rahti hai wo duniya kuchh nahin

kitne sada-lauh the agle zamane ke wo log
kah diya jo dil mein aaya dil mein rakkha kuchh nahin

dekhne wala koi hota to hum bhi khelte
the tamashe saikDon lekin dikhaya kuchh nahin

aa ke jo sairab karti hai zamin-e-KHushk ko
asl mein hai mauj-e-dariya shor-e-dariya kuchh nahin

is taraf hai meri wahshat us taraf tera jamal
wo haqiqat daimi hai ye tamasha kuchh nahin

jaane kis ki justuju mein thi hayat-e-muKHtasar
umr-bhar bhaga kiye aur hath aaya kuchh nahin

ye hasin manzar ye bahr-o-bar ye sab mah-o-nujum
teri qudrat ka karishma hain kisi ka kuchh nahin

pesh karna hai to us ko pesh kije dil 'ziya'
yar ki nazron mein duniya ka asasa kuchh nahin
