Ai Soz-e-darun Rang-e-wafa Aur Hi Kuchh Hai

ai soz-e-darun rang-e-wafa aur hi kuchh hai

ab dil ke dhaDakne ki sada aur hi kuchh hai

kuche mein tere shor-e-fughan kam nahin lekin

darwesh-e-dua-go ki sada aur hi kuchh hai

dilkash hai bahut pairahan-e-lala-o-gul bhi

lekin tera andaz-e-qaba aur hi kuchh hai

jaise kisi mausam ka guzar hi na raha ho

kuchh din se zamane ki hawa aur hi kuchh hai

daur-e-tarab-angez-chaman KHub hai lekin

be-halqa-e-gul raqs-e-saba aur hi kuchh hai

nazrana-e-jaan bhi nahin haq-dar-e-tawajjoh

shayad tera dastur-e-wafa aur hi kuchh hai

lahje to bahut shoKH hain rangin-suKHanon ke

'athar' tera uslub-e-nawa aur hi kuchh hai
