na aadamii kaa ko_ii bharosaa

na aadamii kaa ko_ii bharosaa written by Shakeel Badayuni for Aadmi (1968), had the following lines

na husn meN ab vo dilkashii hai na ishq meN ab vo zindagii hai
jidhar nigaaheN uThaa ke dekho sitam hai dhoka hai beruKii hai


which echoes this sher of Iqbal from one of his Ghazals

na vo ishq meN raheeN garmiyaan na vo husn meN raheeN shoKiyaaN
na vo Gazanavii meN taRap rahii na vo Kam hai zulf-e-ayaaz meN

Two years before, in 1966 this Iqbal GHazal was sung by Lata in Dulhan Ek Raat Ki.
