yun hai teri talash pe ab tak yaqin mujhe

saza hi di hai duaon mein bhi asar de kar

hath lahraata raha wo baiTh kar khiDki ke sath

kisi ke haq mein sahi faisla hua to hai

mishal-e-ummid thamo rahnuma jaisa bhi hai

sham se tanha khaDa hun yas ka paikar hun main

is tarah soi hain aankhen jagte sapnon ke sath

ban gaya hai jism guzre qafilon ki gard sa

sarae chhoD ke wo phir kabhi nahin aaya

teri aankhon ki chamak bas aur ek pal hai abhi

is qadar bhi to na jazbaat pe qabu rakkho

lagega ajnabi ab kyon na shahr bhar mujhko

nam bhi jis ka zaban par tha duaon ki tarah

raat ko bahar akele ghumna achchha nahin

jaane walon ke liye tu aur kya le jaega
