Mere liye kya hai kuchh bhi nahin

ye ganw ka manzar sannaTa aur sham ki dhundli tariki
ek sham bahut rangin magar muflis ki nigahon mein phiki

dharti pe ye pani sone ka aakash pe nahren chandi ki
ye chand ye tare ye dariya mere liye kya hai kuchh bhi nahin

ye shahr ki chalti saDkon par har samt dukanen nurani
bijli mein bhi jalta ho jaise iflas ke patte ka pani

chizon ki girani mein shamil ghurbat ke lahu ki arzani
ye saz ye saman-e-ishrat mere liye kya hai kuchh bhi nahin

raaton ke andhere mein jagmag jagmag ye faza mai-KHwanon ki
mezon pe nazare masti ke bahki hui lai diwanon ki

botal ki nawa-e-kulkul mein halki si KHunuk paimanon ki
ye shisha ye saqi ye sahba mere liye kya hai kuchh bhi nahin

saDkon pe hasinon ka tanta jadu ka para chalta phirta
saDi ki lapeTun se jin ki chhilke hai jawani ki sahba

masti ke qadam sambhle sambhle aanchal ka sira Dhalka Dhalka
ye husn-o-jawani rang-o-ada mere liye kya hai kuchh bhi nahin

aankhon pe meri ehsas hai kya sabzon pe agar hai barnai
kyun puchhne jaun kyari mein phulon ka mizaj-e-ranai

kya kaam hai mujh ko gulshan se kaliyan ho khili ya murjhai
ye phul ye shabnam sher-o-faza mere liye kya hai kuchh bhi nahin

collage ki ye tamir-e-KHandan mamnun ghamon lam nahin
is mein kisi muflis ke ghar ke ghamgin pisar ka nam nahin

saman-e-tijarat hai ye bhi saman-e-mafad-e-am nahin
ye ilm ye hikmat hosh-ruba mere liye kya hai kuchh bhi nahin

be-jaan ho jab naqsh-e-hasti taswir-e-tamanna kya bole
taraj ke KHuni panje mein tahzib ki mina kya bole

chilon ke najasat khane mein bechaara papiha kya bole
ye naghma ye sher-o-saz-o-nawa mere liye kya hai kuchh bhi nahin
