Kahaan Ki Goonj Dil-e-na-tawa'n Mein Rahti Hai

Kahaan ki goonj dil-e-na-tawa'n mein rahti hai,
Ke tharthari si ajab jism-o-jaa'n mein rahti hai,

Qadam qadam pe wahi chashm o lab wahi gesu,
Tamaam umr nazar imtiha'n mein rahti hai,

Maza to ye hai ki wo khud to hai naye ghar mein,
Aur us ki yaad puraane maka'n mein rahti hai,

Pata to fasl-e-gul-o-laala ka nahin maloom,
Suna hai qurb-o-jawaar-e-khiza'n mein rahti hai,

Main kitna wahm karun lekin ek shua-e-yaqeen,
Kahin nawah-e-dil-e-bad-guma'n mein rahti hai,

Hazaar jaan khapata rahun magar phir bhi,
Kami si kuchh mere tarz-e-baya'n mein rahti hai..!!
