Wajood apna, Na Rooh apni
Bas ik tamasha ye zeest thehri,
Na dil-lagi mein sakoon paaya,
Na aashqi mein qaraar paaya,
Na wasl lamhey hi raas aaye,
Na firaaq hi hum guzaar paaye,
Ajab ye chahat k marhaley hain,
Na jeet paaye, Na haar paaye,
Na hi yadoon ki dhunnd utri,
Na dil k daaman ko jhaar paaye,
Na aankhein khawabon ko dhoond paa'een,
Na khawab aankhon ko dhoond paaye,
Bas ik tamasha ye zeest thehri,
Wajood apna, Na rooh apni...!
