kya shauq hai aashufta-sari dhund rahe ho
sahra mein koi shakh hari dhund rahe ho

manzil se jo waqif hain na rahon se khabar-dar
un logon mein tum rahbari dhund rahe ho

barish ki tamanna hai to baadal ko pukaro
kyon garm hawaon mein tari dhund rahe ho

jugnu si chamak pa ke tu itrae hue the
ab thak ke charagh-e-sahari dhund rahe ho

jo khud bhi hai suraj ki ziyaon ka talabgar
us chand mein kya jalwagari dhund rahe ho

hain baal jo kuchh shisha-e-dil par unhen dekho
pyale mein kahan shishagari dhund rahe ho
