talash

vo chhuTTī kī ghanTī

vo kamzor kāñdhe pe

bhārī sā basta

vo ma.asūm chehra

vo masrūf rasta

so maiñ chauñk uThā

ā.īne ne bahut ġhaur se mujh ko dekhā

merā ham-zād hai tujh se parda hī kyā

aaj phir yaad apnī mujhe

kitnī shiddat se taḌpā ga.ī

wo chhuTTi ki ghanTi

wo kamzor kandhe pe

bhaari sa basta

wo masum chehra

wo masruf rasta

so main chaunk uTha

aaine ne bahut ghaur se mujh ko dekha

mera ham-zad hai tujh se parda hi kya

aaj phir yaad apni mujhe

kitni shiddat se taDpa gai
