na paya khoj barson naqsh-e-pa-e-raftagan dhundhe
na ho mumkin pata jin ka unhen koi kahan dhundhe

talash is tarah bazm-e-aish mein hai be-nishanon ki
koi kapde mein jaise zakhm-e-sozan ka nishan dhundhe

hum us ke zikr hi se khush kiya karte hain dil apna
sahaara jaise tinke ka ghariq-e-nim-jaan dhundhe

kidhar ko ruth kar jata raha ahd-e-shabab apna
na paya is musafir ko hazaron karwan dhundhe

uthana ho subuk aadam pe jab bar-e-amanat ka
kahan se phir koi is ke liye bar-e-giran dhundhe

girah sanson mein dali hai 'hawas' ifraat-e-girya ne
na aah-e-na-tawan aane ko lab tak nardban dhundhe
