Hum to Yan Marte Hain Wan Usko KHabar Kuchh Bhi Nahin

Poet

ham to yaan marte hain vaan us ko ḳhabar kuchh bhi nahin

ai vo sab kuchh hi sahi ishq magar kuchh bhi nahin

tum ko fariyad-e-sitam-kash ka ḳhatar kuchh bhi nahin

kuchh to ulfat ka asar hai ki asar kuchh bhi nahin

afiyat ek aur azar hazaron us men

jis ko kuchh suud nahin us ko zarar kuchh bhi nahin

ḳhalvat-e-raz men kya kaam hai hangame ka

hai ḳhabar-dar vahi jis ko ḳhabar kuchh bhi nahin

tu aur ik shaan ki aalam ki nazar men kya kuchh

main aur ik jaan ki phirte hi nazar kuchh bhi nahin

rahm hai us ka hi ashob-e-qayamat ki dalil

jis se bezar hai vo us ko ḳhatar kuchh bhi nahin

ham ko is hausle pe kyuun ki falak de saman

shikva-e-bar hai aur minnat-e-sar kuchh bhi nahin

rahi-e-mulk-e-adam hain nahin fikr-e-manzil

qasd rakhte hain udhar ka ki jidhar kuchh bhi nahin

ziist afsun-e-tamasha hai tavahhum ke liye

hoti hai jalva-numa misl-e-sharar kuchh bhi nahin

ḳhud-parasti ke sabab shaiḳh-o-barahman ko hai ḳhabt

sab idhar hi ki banavaT hai udhar kuchh bhi nahin

aqibat-bin ko hai har bazm ki shadi matam

sham.a roti hai ki hote hi sahar kuchh bhi nahin

roz-e-furqat ki darazi se na dekhe shab-e-hijr

hasrat-e-sham men tashvish-e-sahar kuchh bhi nahin

jante hain ki na bhaTkega jahan kya kya kuchh

dekhte hain ki unhen madd-e-nazar kuchh bhi nahin

ai ‘qalaq’ piite hi masjid men chale aate ho

be-ḳhabar kitne ho tum bhi ki ḳhabar kuchh bhi nahin
