talKHiyan is mein bahut kuchh hain maza kuchh bhi nahin

talḳhiyāñ is meñ bahut kuchh haiñ mazā kuchh bhī nahīñ

zindagī dard-e-mohabbat ke sivā kuchh bhī nahīñ

sham.a ḳhāmosh bhī rahte hue ḳhāmosh kahāñ

is tarah kah diyā sab kuchh ki kahā kuchh bhī nahīñ

ham gadāyān-e-mohabbat kā yahī sab kuchh hai

garche duniyā yahī kahtī hai vafā kuchh bhī nahīñ

ye nayā tarz-e-karam hai tirā ai fasl-e-bahār

le liyā paas meñ jo kuchh thā diyā kuchh bhī nahīñ

ham ko ma.alūm na thā pahle ye ā.īn-e-jahāñ

us ko dete haiñ sazā jis kī ḳhatā kuchh bhī nahīñ

vahī aaheñ vahī aañsū ke do qatre 'ājiz'

kyā tirī shā.irī meñ in ke sivā kuchh bhī nahīñ

talKHiyan is mein bahut kuchh hain maza kuchh bhi nahin

zindagi dard-e-mohabbat ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin

shama KHamosh bhi rahte hue KHamosh kahan

is tarah kah diya sab kuchh ki kaha kuchh bhi nahin

hum gadayan-e-mohabbat ka yahi sab kuchh hai

garche duniya yahi kahti hai wafa kuchh bhi nahin

ye naya tarz-e-karam hai tera ai fasl-e-bahaar

le liya pas mein jo kuchh tha diya kuchh bhi nahin

hum ko malum na tha pahle ye aain-e-jahan

us ko dete hain saza jis ki KHata kuchh bhi nahin

wahi aahen wahi aansu ke do qatre 'ajiz'

kya teri shairi mein in ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin
