Talash

ye bujhi si sham ye sahmi hui parchhaiyan

KHun-e-dil bhi is faza mein rang bhar sakta nahin

aa utar aa kanpte honTon pe ai mayus aah

saqf-e-zindan par koi parwaz kar sakta nahin

jhilmilae meri palkon pe mah-o-KHur bhi to kya?

is andhere ghar mein ek tara utar sakta nahin

luT li zulmat ne ru-e-hind ki tabindagi

raat ke kandhe pe sar rakh kar sitare so gae

wo bhayanak aandhiyan, wo abtari, wo KHalfashaar

karwan be-rah ho nikla, musafir kho gae

hain isi aiwan-e-be-dar mein yaqinan rahnuma

aa ke kyun diwar tak naqsh-e-qadam gum ho gae

dekh ai josh-e-amal wo saqf ye diwar hai

ek rauzan khol dena bhi koi dushwar hai
