tari talash mein har rahnuma se baaten kin
khala se rabt badhaya hawa se baaten kin

kabhi sitaron ne bheja hamein koi paigham
to muddaton mein kisi aashna se baaten kin

hamari khair manao ki aaj khud us ne
bade khulus badi iltija se baaten kin

gunah-gar to ramz-e-harim tak pahunche
sawab walon ne bang-e-dara se baaten kin

bahut se wo the jinhon ne buton se faiz uthae
bahut se wo the jinhon ne khuda se baaten kin

na jaane kab se sunate the us ko hum ahwal
nazar uthai to phir ibtida se baaten kin

hazar sher kahe yun to kahne walon ne
kisi kisi ne dil-e-mubtala se baaten kin
