khud ko pane ki justuju hai wahi
us se milne ki aarzu hai wahi

us ka chehra usi ke khadd-o-khal
apna mauzu-e-guftugu hai wahi

hain usi ke ye rang-ha-e-sukhan
mere pahlu mein khub-ru hai wahi

kitne mausam badal gae lekin
dil wahi dil ki aarzu hai wahi

hai wahi shauq-e-chaak-damani
aur phir khwahish-e-rafu hai wahi

sajda-bazan-e-shahr painda
dast-e-azar ki aabru hai wahi

khu-e-taslim sar salamat-baad
bandagi tauq-e-dar-gulu hai wahi

kam nahin shor-e-nala-o-fariyaad
matam-e-shahr aarzu hai wahi
