naghme ko lai sadaf ko guhar ki talash hai
khushbu hun mujh ko phul se ghar ki talash hai

jo fikr ko yaqin ki daulat ata kare
hum ko to aise dast-e-hunar ki talash hai

jam-o-subu se hai na hai saqi se kuchh gharaz
gulchin hai us ko bas gul-e-tar ki talash hai

hum hain azal se gard-e-rah-e-karwan hamein
diwar ki talash na dar ki talash hai

aabaad ek nagar hai hamare wajud mein
'manzar' hamein bhi ahl-e-nazar ki talash hai
