kis shaKHs ki talash mein sar phoDti rahi
kis shaḳhs kī talāsh meñ sar phoḌtī rahī
sunsān jañgaloñ meñ havā chīḳhtī rahī
māthe pe dhuul haath meñ kāñTe liye hayāt
sahrā se ḳhushbuoñ kā pata pūchhtī rahī
dil bujh gayā to raat kī sūrat thī zindagī
jab tak ye ik charāġh rahā raushnī rahī
maiñ aaj bhī na us se koī baat kar sakā
lafzoñ ke pattharoñ meñ tamannā dabī rahī
sunsān rāstoñ pe bhaTaktī thī chāñdnī
shab bhar na jaane kis ke liye jāgtī rahī
vo peḌ jo harā thā bahāroñ ke ba.ad bhī
hairat se us ko zard havā dekhtī rahī
sūraj na koī merī galī meñ utar sakā
shab bhar mire makān kī khiḌkī khulī rahī
kis shaKHs ki talash mein sar phoDti rahi
sunsan jangalon mein hawa chiKHti rahi
mathe pe dhul hath mein kanTe liye hayat
sahra se KHushbuon ka pata puchhti rahi
dil bujh gaya to raat ki surat thi zindagi
jab tak ye ek charagh raha raushni rahi
main aaj bhi na us se koi baat kar saka
lafzon ke pattharon mein tamanna dabi rahi
sunsan raston pe bhaTakti thi chandni
shab bhar na jaane kis ke liye jagti rahi
wo peD jo hara tha bahaaron ke baad bhi
hairat se us ko zard hawa dekhti rahi
suraj na koi meri gali mein utar saka
shab bhar mere makan ki khiDki khuli rahi
