karo talash had-e-asman milne na mile
nishan-e-rahguzar-e-karwan mile na mile

chalo jalae hue mashal-e-yaqin dil mein
kanar-e-bahr-e-muhit-e-guman mile na mile

rawan-dawan hun har ek mauj-e-khush-khiram ki samt
pas-e-sarab wo ju-e-rawan mile na mile

abhi sada-e-jaras gunjti hai kanon mein
suragh-e-qafila-e-raftgan mile na mile

abhi na daman-e-ummid chhutne pae
phir ek bar wo nazdik-e-jaan mile na mile

har ek gam hai ek sajda-gah 'tamannai'
jabin ko sang-e-dar-e-astan mile na mile
