Lyrics (Urdu)

Dhoondta hoon tujhko mein jhoolti bayaaron mein,
Baadalon ki aad se jhaankte pahaadon mein...
Dhoondta hoon, dhoondta hoon, dhoondta hoon....
Dhoondta hoon, dhoondta hoon, dhoondta hoon....

Raat leke aai hai dard behisaab kyun
Gum hua falak se aaj mehtaab kyun
Jhad rahi hai patiyan aaj in chinaron se
furkaton mein, ulfaton mein, chahaton mein...
Dhoondta hoon, dhoondta hoon, dhoondta hoon....

Barf se hai sard ye aaj aabshaar kyun
Gumnaam dasht hai gair ye dayaar kyun
Sun raha hoon ek sadaa sudoor un minaaron se
silvaton mein, karvaton mein, aahaton mein...
Dhoondta hoon, dhoondta hoon, dhoondta hoon....

Lyrics (English translation):

I search for thee...
In that oscillating gentle breeze,
In the gander of the cloud laden precipice
I search for thee...

Of the countless pains that this night inflicts,
Why, sans the old orb that it exists?
Why, from the verdant maples are the leaves gone?
(Why so soon did that old man winter beckon?) 
In my leisure, pleasure and desires...
I search for thee...

Why, is this spring frigid to the bone?
Lost am I in this cold desert unknown?
Who harkens thy name from these towers afar?
(Is it that I have deferred from my devoir?)
In my dreams, slumber and night's whisper...
I search for thee...

Suhail Farooq
