bujh gayā dil to ḳhabar kuchh bhī nahīñ
aks-e-ā.īne nazar kuchh bhī nahīñ
shab kī dīvār girī to dekhā
nok-e-nashtar hai sahar kuchh bhī nahīñ
jab bhī ehsās kā sūraj Duube
ḳhaak kā Dher bashar kuchh bhī nahīñ
ek pal aisā ki duniyā badle
yuuñ to sadiyoñ kā safar kuchh bhī nahīñ
harf ko barg-e-navā detā huuñ
yuuñ mire paas hunar kuchh bhī nahīñ
