dar-e-kaenat jo wa kare usi aagahi ki talash hai
dar-e-kā.enāt jo vā kare usī āgahī kī talāsh hai
mujhe raushnī kī talāsh thī mujhe raushnī kī talāsh hai
ġham-e-zindagī ke fishār meñ tirī aarzū ke ġhubār meñ
isī be-hisī ke hisār meñ mujhe zindagī kī talāsh hai
ye jo sarsarī sī nashāt hai ye to chand lamhoñ kī baat hai
mirī ruuh tak jo utar sake mujhe us ḳhushī kī talāsh hai
ye jo aag sī hai dabī dabī nahīñ dosto mire kaam kī
vo jo ek aan meñ phūñk de usī sho.alagī kī talāsh hai
ye jo sāḳhta se haiñ qahqahe mire dil ko lagte haiñ bojh se
vo jo apne aap meñ mast ho mujhe us hañsī kī talāsh hai
ye jo mel-jol kī baat hai ye jo majlisī sī hayāt hai
mujhe is se koī ġharaz nahīñ mujhe dostī kī talāsh hai
dar-e-kaenat jo wa kare usi aagahi ki talash hai
mujhe raushni ki talash thi mujhe raushni ki talash hai
gham-e-zindagi ke fishaar mein teri aarzu ke ghubar mein
isi be-hisi ke hisar mein mujhe zindagi ki talash hai
ye jo sarsari si nashat hai ye to chand lamhon ki baat hai
meri ruh tak jo utar sake mujhe us KHushi ki talash hai
ye jo aag si hai dabi dabi nahin dosto mere kaam ki
wo jo ek aan mein phunk de usi shoalagi ki talash hai
ye jo saKHta se hain qahqahe mere dil ko lagte hain bojh se
wo jo apne aap mein mast ho mujhe us hansi ki talash hai
ye jo mel-jol ki baat hai ye jo majlisi si hayat hai
mujhe is se koi gharaz nahin mujhe dosti ki talash hai
