Dear Mr Gupta,
Are you saying that the couplet was creation of Mr AB Vajpayee?If yes,then you are mistaken.It is one of the couplet of Ghalib from his Ghazal.
Following is another sher from the same Ghazal.

Chipak raha hai badan par lahu se pairahan
Hamari jeb ko ab haajat-e-rafu kya hai?

Neverthless it was a very apt and witty retort by Vajpayee.

blood, our veins]. Responding to this, what Vajpai said in Manali was inimitable:
“Ragon mein daurate-phirne ke ham nahin kaayal,
Jab aankh se hi na tapka to lahoo kya hai?”

[A drop of blood; what is its worth?
If it runs from and back to heart;
The real blood, worth its name,
Is that which drips from the ocular frame].
