maiN girah maiN baand k haadsaat

maiN girha maiN baand k haadsaat niqal paRi teri khooj maiN

kahiN taaR-kool ki thei saRak jahaN aa’g ban-ti dhoop thei

kabhi kachi rah ki dhool maiN jahaN saans laiNa muhaal tha

sar-r-rizm jaaN kabhi dil k daRd se haar kar

kabi raat raat basar duaa’ooN maiN ho gaa’ee

kabhi qaa’filay meRi aa’s k kisi dasht-e-yaas maiN kho gaa’ey

meRa pairhaN tha phata huwa kahiN gard gard aata huwa

maiN adhooray-puN k saRaab maiN

tujhay dhoondhti phiri dar-badaR

kisi ajnabi dayyaar maiN

koi dukh mila kisi moRe pe koi gham mila kisi choak maiN

kisi rah-guzar k sakoot maiN koi daRd a k daRa gay’aa

kabhi chal paRi kabi ruk gaa’ee kisi kashmakash k gubaar maiN

mujhay kia mila teray payaaR maiN

maiN girah maiN baand k haadsaat

kahiN gum huwi teRi khooj maiN
