to mil bhi jae to phir bhi tujhe talash karun
to mil bhī jaa.e to phir bhī tujhe talāsh karūñ
har ek daur meñ taḳhlīq-e-irti.āsh karūñ
maiñ faash ho hī chukā huuñ to kyā zarūrī hai?
ki apne saath tujhe bhī jahāñ meñ faash karūñ
surāġh-e-zīst mile reza reza insāñ ko
butān-e-asr ko kuchh aise paash paash karūñ
zamīñ ne qarz diyā mujh ko rizq kī sūrat
marūñ to kyuuñ na supurd us ke apnī laash karūñ
mujhe najāt mile tīra-kāriyoñ se kaash
maiñ nuur ugā.ūñ yahāñ raushnī ma.āsh karūñ
mirī baqā kā taqāzā hai jab bhī rut badle
maiñ jam.a az-sar-e-nau apnī qaash qaash karūñ
jadīd daur meñ rahte hue bhī ai 'rūhī'
hai aarzū ki na tark apnī būd-o-bāsh karūñ
to mil bhi jae to phir bhi tujhe talash karun
har ek daur mein taKHliq-e-irtiash karun
main fash ho hi chuka hun to kya zaruri hai?
ki apne sath tujhe bhi jahan mein fash karun
suragh-e-zist mile reza reza insan ko
butan-e-asr ko kuchh aise pash pash karun
zamin ne qarz diya mujh ko rizq ki surat
marun to kyun na supurd us ke apni lash karun
mujhe najat mile tira-kariyon se kash
main nur ugaun yahan raushni maash karun
meri baqa ka taqaza hai jab bhi rut badle
main jama az-sar-e-nau apni qash qash karun
jadid daur mein rahte hue bhi ai 'ruhi'
hai aarzu ki na tark apni bud-o-bash karun
