chhoD kar dil mein gai wahshi hawa kuchh bhi nahin
chhoḌ kar dil meñ ga.ī vahshī havā kuchh bhī nahīñ
kis qadar gunjān jañgal thā rahā kuchh bhī nahīñ
ḳhāk-e-pā-e-yād tak giilī havā ne chaaT lī
ishq kī ġharqāb bastī meñ bachā kuchh bhī nahīñ
haal ke zindāñ se bāhar kuchh nahīñ juz rūd-e-marg
aur is zindāñ meñ juz zanjīr-e-pā kuchh bhī nahīñ
hijr ke kaale samundar kā nahīñ sāhil koī
mauja-e-tūfān-e-dahshat se varā kuchh bhī nahīñ
ābanā.e-dard ke donoñ taraf hai dasht-e-ḳhauf
ab to chāra jaan dene ke sivā kuchh bhī nahīñ
haath merā ai mirī parchhā.īñ tū hī thaam le
ek muddat se mujhe to sūjhtā kuchh bhī nahīñ
shahr-e-shab meñ kaun sā ghar thā na dī jis par sadā
niiñd ke andhe musāfir ko milā kuchh bhī nahīñ
raat bhar ik chaap sī phirtī rahī chāroñ taraf
jān-levā ḳhauf thā lekin huā kuchh bhī nahīñ
kāsa-e-jāñ haath meñ le kar ga.e the ham vahāñ
laa.e us dar se ba-juz ḳhūn-e-sadā kuchh bhī nahīñ
umr bhar umr-e-gurezāñ se na merī ban sakī
jo kare kartī rahe maiñ pūchhtā kuchh bhī nahīñ
vo bhī shāyad ro paḌe vīrān kāġhaz dekh kar
maiñ ne us ko āḳhirī ḳhat meñ likhā kuchh bhī nahīñ
daulat-e-tanhā.ī bhī aane se tere chhin ga.ī
ab to mere paas ai jān-e-vafā kuchh bhī nahīñ
dil pe lākhoñ lafz kanda kar ga.ī us kī nazar
aur kahne ko abhī us ne kahā kuchh bhī nahīñ
chhoD kar dil mein gai wahshi hawa kuchh bhi nahin
kis qadar gunjaan jangal tha raha kuchh bhi nahin
KHak-e-pa-e-yaad tak gili hawa ne chaT li
ishq ki gharqab basti mein bacha kuchh bhi nahin
haal ke zindan se bahar kuchh nahin juz rud-e-marg
aur is zindan mein juz zanjir-e-pa kuchh bhi nahin
hijr ke kale samundar ka nahin sahil koi
mauja-e-tufan-e-dahshat se wara kuchh bhi nahin
aabanae-dard ke donon taraf hai dasht-e-KHauf
ab to chaara jaan dene ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin
hath mera ai meri parchhain tu hi tham le
ek muddat se mujhe to sujhta kuchh bhi nahin
shahr-e-shab mein kaun sa ghar tha na di jis par sada
nind ke andhe musafir ko mila kuchh bhi nahin
raat bhar ek chap si phirti rahi chaaron taraf
jaan-lewa KHauf tha lekin hua kuchh bhi nahin
kasa-e-jaan hath mein le kar gae the hum wahan
lae us dar se ba-juz KHun-e-sada kuchh bhi nahin
umr bhar umr-e-gurezan se na meri ban saki
jo kare karti rahe main puchhta kuchh bhi nahin
wo bhi shayad ro paDe viran kaghaz dekh kar
main ne us ko aaKHiri KHat mein likha kuchh bhi nahin
daulat-e-tanhai bhi aane se tere chhin gai
ab to mere pas ai jaan-e-wafa kuchh bhi nahin
dil pe lakhon lafz kanda kar gai us ki nazar
aur kahne ko abhi us ne kaha kuchh bhi nahin
