dekha tha jo bhi KHwab mein ab kya hai kuchh nahin
dekhā thā jo bhī ḳhvāb meñ ab kyā hai kuchh nahīñ
is husn aur shabāb meñ ab kyā hai kuchh nahīñ
mere liye to jaise vo kāġhaz kā phuul thā
us ḳhushnumā gulāb meñ ab kyā hai kuchh nahīñ
ab haiñ kitāb-e-zīst ke aurāq muntashir
is ke har ek baab meñ ab kyā hai kuchh nahīñ
mujh ko dikhā rahā thā abhī tak vo sabz baaġh
hai zindagī azaab meñ ab kyā hai kuchh nahīñ
ḳhush-fahmī ke shikār the va.ade pe jis ke sab
kyā kyā milā hisāb meñ ab kyā hai kuchh nahīñ
jo kuchh bachā ke rakkhā thā ā.inda ke liye
sab mil gayā vo aab meñ ab kyā hai kuchh nahīñ
merā savāl us ke liye lā-javāb thā
jo kuchh milā javāb meñ ab kyā hai kuchh nahīñ
kal tak samajh rahā thā jise jān-e-ārzū
is husn-e-intiḳhāb meñ ab kyā hai kuchh nahīñ
raushan thī jin se sham-e-shabistān-e-zindagī
yādoñ ke is sarāb meñ ab kyā hai kuchh nahīñ
jo lutf us kī nuqra.ī āvāz meñ milā
is chañg aur rabāb meñ ab kyā hai kuchh nahīñ
'barqī' thā jis kā rū-e-hasīñ misl-e-māhtāb
us rashk-e-māhtāb meñ ab kyā hai kuchh nahīñ
dekha tha jo bhi KHwab mein ab kya hai kuchh nahin
is husn aur shabab mein ab kya hai kuchh nahin
mere liye to jaise wo kaghaz ka phul tha
us KHushnuma gulab mein ab kya hai kuchh nahin
ab hain kitab-e-zist ke auraq muntashir
is ke har ek bab mein ab kya hai kuchh nahin
mujh ko dikha raha tha abhi tak wo sabz bagh
hai zindagi azab mein ab kya hai kuchh nahin
KHush-fahmi ke shikar the wade pe jis ke sab
kya kya mila hisab mein ab kya hai kuchh nahin
jo kuchh bacha ke rakkha tha aainda ke liye
sab mil gaya wo aab mein ab kya hai kuchh nahin
mera sawal us ke liye la-jawab tha
jo kuchh mila jawab mein ab kya hai kuchh nahin
kal tak samajh raha tha jise jaan-e-arzu
is husn-e-intiKHab mein ab kya hai kuchh nahin
raushan thi jin se sham-e-shabistan-e-zindagi
yaadon ke is sarab mein ab kya hai kuchh nahin
jo lutf us ki nuqrai aawaz mein mila
is chang aur rabab mein ab kya hai kuchh nahin
'barqi' tha jis ka ru-e-hasin misl-e-mahtab
us rashk-e-mahtab mein ab kya hai kuchh nahin
