ba-juz mata-e-dil-e-laKHt-laKHt kuchh bhi nahin
ba-juz matā-e-dil-e-laḳht-laḳht kuchh bhī nahīñ
mirī nigāh meñ tadbīr-o-baḳht kuchh bhī nahīñ
guzarte vaqt kī sūrat harīf bhī na rahe
burī nigāh na lahje karaḳht kuchh bhī nahīñ
masāfatoñ kī ghanī dhuup meñ haiñ tanhā ham
hamārī raah meñ saa.e daraḳht kuchh bhī nahīñ
maiñ naqsh-o-rañg kī duniyā luTā ke aayā huuñ
mirī nigāh maiñ ab tāj-o-taḳht kuchh bhī nahīñ
hameñ 'ra.īs' jo luuTe to koī kyā luuTe
hamāre paas to ab sāz-o-raḳht kuchh bhī nahīñ
ba-juz mata-e-dil-e-laKHt-laKHt kuchh bhi nahin
meri nigah mein tadbir-o-baKHt kuchh bhi nahin
guzarte waqt ki surat harif bhi na rahe
buri nigah na lahje karaKHt kuchh bhi nahin
masafaton ki ghani dhup mein hain tanha hum
hamari rah mein sae daraKHt kuchh bhi nahin
main naqsh-o-rang ki duniya luTa ke aaya hun
meri nigah main ab taj-o-taKHt kuchh bhi nahin
hamein 'rais' jo luTe to koi kya luTe
hamare pas to ab saz-o-raKHt kuchh bhi nahin
