Subh-e-bahaar-o-sham-e-KHizan kuchh na kuchh to ho

subh-e-bahaar-o-sham-e-KHizan kuchh na kuchh to ho
be-nam zindagi ka nishan kuchh na kuchh to ho

KHamoshiyon ki aag mein jalta hai mai-kada
dil-dadgan-e-shoala-ruKHan kuchh na kuchh to ho

jine ke waste koi surat to chahiye
ho sham-e-anjuman ki dhuan kuchh na kuchh to ho

chup chup hai mauj aur kinare udas hain
ai zindagi ke sail-e-rawan kuchh na kuchh to ho

subh-e-azal ka rup ki sham-e-abad ka git
saya ho dhup ho ki guman kuchh na kuchh to ho

saqi nae charagh mubarak tujhe magar
jo bujh chuke hain un ka bayan kuchh na kuchh to ho

koi hasin git koi ras-bhari ghazal
yaro ilaj-e-gham-zadgan kuchh na kuchh to ho

mana ki 'tab' yun bhi guzar jaegi magar
zikr-e-jamal-e-gul-badnan kuchh na kuchh to ho
