meri nazar ka muddaa uske siwa kuchh bhi nahin
merī nazar kā mudda.ā us ke sivā kuchh bhī nahīñ
us ne kahā kyā baat hai maiñ ne kahā kuchh bhī nahīñ
har zehn ko saudā huā har aañkh ne kuchh paḌh liyā
lekin sar-e-qirtās-e-jāñ maiñ ne likhā kuchh bhī nahīñ
dīvār-e-shahr-e-asr par kyā qāmateñ chaspāñ huiiñ
koshish to kuchh maiñ ne bhī kī lekin banā kuchh bhī nahīñ
jis se na kahnā thā kabhī jis se chhupānā thā sabhī
sab kuchh usī se kah diyā mujh se kahā kuchh bhī nahīñ
chalnā hai rāh-e-zīst meñ apne hī saath ek umr tak
kahne ko hai ik vāqi.a aur vāqi.a kuchh bhī nahīñ
ab ke bhī ik āñdhī chalī ab ke bhī sab kuchh uḌ gayā
ab ke bhī sab bāteñ huiiñ lekin huā kuchh bhī nahīñ
dil ko bachāne ke liye jaañ ko sipar karte rahe
logoñ se āḳhir kyā kaheñ 'shahpar' bachā kuchh bhī nahīñ
meri nazar ka muddaa us ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin
us ne kaha kya baat hai main ne kaha kuchh bhi nahin
har zehn ko sauda hua har aankh ne kuchh paDh liya
lekin sar-e-qirtas-e-jaan main ne likha kuchh bhi nahin
diwar-e-shahr-e-asr par kya qamaten chaspan huin
koshish to kuchh main ne bhi ki lekin bana kuchh bhi nahin
jis se na kahna tha kabhi jis se chhupana tha sabhi
sab kuchh usi se kah diya mujh se kaha kuchh bhi nahin
chalna hai rah-e-zist mein apne hi sath ek umr tak
kahne ko hai ek waqia aur waqia kuchh bhi nahin
ab ke bhi ek aandhi chali ab ke bhi sab kuchh uD gaya
ab ke bhi sab baaten huin lekin hua kuchh bhi nahin
dil ko bachane ke liye jaan ko sipar karte rahe
logon se aaKHir kya kahen 'shahpar' bacha kuchh bhi nahin
