ye kis ne tum se galat kaha mujhe kaaravaan ki talaash hai
jahaan main hoon tum ho koee na ho mujhe is jahaan kee talaash hai
lie zauq-e-sajda mein dar-ba-dar phira main ne paaya nahin magar
jahaan apane aap jhuke jabeen isee aastaan kee talaash hai
na hai vasl kee koee aarazoo na to hijr kee koee guftugoo
jo shikaar ho gam-e-ishq ka usee raaz-daan kee talaash hai
use do khabar ki vo aashiyaan jo hai soz qalb se zau-fishaan
ye suna hai main ne ki barq ko mire aashiyaan kee talaash hai
mire shauq-e-deed kee aarazoo nahin chand phoolon kee justujoo
mire rang-o-boo ke mazaaq ko kisee gulistaan kee talaash hai
mire dil mein gam ka jo khaar hai mira dil usee pe nisaar hai
jise mere dard ka dard ho usee meharabaan kee talaash hai
kisee dil mein koee makeen hai kisee dar pe koee jabeen hai
jahaan ho na koee mire siva mujhe us makaan kee talaash hai
