talash ek bahana tha KHak uDane ka

adhuri chhoD ke taswir mar gaya wo zeb

phir ek naqsh ka nairang zeb bikhrega

thak gaya ek kahani sunte sunte main

dil ko sambhaale hansta bolta rahta hun lekin

zeb mujhe Dar lagne laga hai apne KHwabon se

main lakh ise taza rakhun dil ke lahu se

ab tak to kisi ghair ka ehsan nahin mujh par

chheD kar jaise guzar jati hai doshiza hawa

khuli chhaton se chandni raaten katra jaengi

andar andar khokhle ho jate hain ghar

DhunDhti phirti hain jaane meri nazren kis ko

maine dekha tha sahaare ke liye chaaron taraf

kahin pata na laga phir wajud ka mere

baDe azab mein hun mujhko jaan bhi hai aziz
