meri talash mujhe le chali hai mazi mein
tumhin batao main khud ko kahan talash karun

pighal pighal ke sada imtihan ki aatish mein
wajud dhal gaya mera ajib sanchon mein

wo ek wajud jo rishton mein kho gaya hai kahin
usi wajud ko phir se kahan talash karun

tarashna hai naya ek mujassama ya phir
main apne gum-shuda hisson ko phir talash karun

tumhin batao main khud ko kahan talash karun
sawal ye hai ki tum se hi kyon mukhatib hun

chalo bataun tumhein kam se kyon sawal kiya
tumhin pe aa ke ruka tha mohabbaton ka safar

tumhin ho aakhiri pahchan mere hone ki
to kyon na tum se shurua ho ye wapsi ka safar

tumhaare pyar ke badle jo pyar tum ko diya
meri wafaon ne jo ikhtiyar tum ko diya

wo ikhtiyar jo tum ne qafas mein dhaal diya
usi qafas se rihai hai ibtida meri

tumhaare nam kiya tha jo umr ka hissa
ye iltija hai meri aaj mujh ko lauta do

bada kathin hai meri jaan ye wapsi ka safar
rihai de ke mujhe aaj mujh se milwa do
