Talash

Chale thae uss rah per hum,
Dia roshan kar ke,
Umeed liye kai shama ki in kirnon sai,
Rasta ashkara hoga,
Kai hawa kai aik jhonkai nai,
Lauta dia phir wohi tareekion main.

Khare thae phir usi mour per hum,
Charag roshan kar ke,
Umeed liye kai hawa kai jhonke ko ab,
Chone na dain gai in kirnon ko,
Kai barish ki aik boondh nai,
Lauta dia phir wohi tareekion main.

Chale thae phir hum dia roshan karne,
Apni haqeeqat sai be-ashna hue,
Umeed liye kai chand ki is roshni sai,
Rasta numayan hoga,
Kai falak per aik badal nai,
Lauta dia phir wohi tareekion main.

Guzr jaigi umer yuhen,
Aks-e-roshni ki khoj main, arsalan,
Umeed liye kai inhi asbabon sai,
Rasta numayan hoga,
Pehchan lai apne rab ko ab,
Agr nhy lautna phir wohi tareekion main.
