**
sitara dhoondna hai
sitaaro se bharay iss asmaan ke ussato mein
mujhe apna sitara dhoondna hai
falak per kehkashan aur kehkashan ek bekarani hai
na uss ka naam hai maloom na koi nishaani hai
buss itna yaad hai mujhe ko
azal ki subah jab saray sitaray
alwidayee guftugu kartay huay rasto pe nilke thay
tu uss ki ankh mein aik aur tara jilmlilaya tha
ussi taray ki surat ka
meri bheeghi hui ankho mein bhi
ek khwab rehta hai
mein apne ansoun mein
apne khawabo ko sajata hu
aur uss ki rah takta hu
suna hai gumshuda cheezien
jahan pe kohyee jati hain
wohi se mil bhi jaati hain
mujhe apna sitara dhoondna hai
