meri ruh mein jo utar saken wo mohabbaten mujhe chahiyen
jo sarab hon na azab hon wo rifaqaten mujhe chahiyen

unhin saaton ki talash hai jo calendaron se utar gain
jo samay ke sath guzar gain wahi fursaten mujhe chahiyen

kahin mil saken to samet la mare roz o shab ki kahaniyan
jo ghubar-e-waqt mein chhup gain wo hikayaten mujhe chahiyen

jo meri shabon ke charagh the jo meri umid ke bagh the
wahi log hain meri aarzu wahi suraten mujhe chahiyen

teri qurbaten nahin chahiyen mari shairi ke mizaj ko
mujhe faslon se dawam de tari furqaten mujhe chahiyen

mujhe aur kuchh nahin chahiye ye duaen hain mare saeban
kadi dhup mein kahin mil saken to yahi chhaten mujhe chahiyen
