na kisi aqiq ki justuju na kisi guhar ki talash hai
jo kisi ka dard bata sake mujhe us bashar ki talash hai

jahan amn-o-khair ki ho faza jahan ek ek pe ho fida
jahan fikr-o-gham se mile mafar mujhe us nagar ki talash hai

jo main phir raha hun gali gali ye na jaaniye hun junun-zada
hai wabaal-e-dosh ye sar mera kisi sang-e-dar ki talash hai

mera maghz chato na naseho mujhe chhod do mere haal par
hun main dil ke rog mein mubtala kisi chaaragar ki talash hai

bani baat hasb-e-dua magar na gai hamari talab abhi
na hue hain khub pe muktafi hamein khub-tar ki talash hai
