jo kho chuke hain wo manzar talash karti hun
bikhar gae hain jo paikar talash karti hun

kabhi talash jo karna ho apna aap mujhe
to us ki zat ke andar talash karti hun

bichhad gai hun main us se magar nahin bichhdi
jo band us ne kiye dar talash karti hun

kabhi jo had se guzar jae dukh to hansti hun
khushi nahin jo mayassar talash karti hun

qarib rah ke bhi karti rahi thi qurb talash
main chahaton ke hi zewar talash karti hun

ye aarzu hai sanam ko qarib-tar dekhun
so regzar mein patthar talash karti hun

karungi us ka tawaf umr bhar main bas 'shahin'
ab apna markaz-o-mehwar talash karti hun
