khirad yaqin ke sukun-zar ki talash mein hai
ye dhup saya-e-diwar ki talash mein hai

khata chaman ki ki hai mubtala-e-lala-o-gul
bahaar sirf khas-o-khar ki talash mein hai

chhalak raha hai qaba-e-haya se us ka shabab
sharab jurat-e-mai-khwar ki talash mein hai

wo nuqta hun jo bharam hai nuqush-e-hasti ka
zamana kya mere asrar ki talash mein hai

wo auj hun jo khalal hai nizam-e-pasti ka
wo jurm hun jo sar-e-dar ki talash mein hai

khas aazma hai 'muhib' shoala-zar baatil se
naya khalil hai gulzar ki talash mein hai
