"Na wajood apna,
na rooh apniBas ik tamasha yeh zeest thehri
Na dil lagi main sakoon paya
Na aashqi main qarar paya
Na wasl lamhay hi raas aaye
Na firaaq hi ghum guzaar paaye
Ajab yeh chahat k marhalay hain
Na jeet paaye na haar paaye
Na hi yaadon ki dhund utri
Na dil k daaman ko jhaar paaye
Na aankhain khawabon ko dhoond paaien,
Na khawab aankhon ko dhoond paay'"
