laga ho dil to KHayalat kab badalte hain
lagā ho dil to ḳhayālāt kab badalte haiñ
ye inqalāb to ik be-dilī meñ palte haiñ
nikal chuke haiñ bahut duur qāfile vaale
hameñ ḳhabar nahīñ ham kis ke saath chalte haiñ
kabhī hameñ bhī milāo to aise logoñ se
ki jin kī aañkh meñ ab tak charāġh jalte haiñ
ye raat aisī havā.eñ kahāñ se laatī hai
ki ḳhvāb phūlte haiñ aur zaḳhm phalte haiñ
rutoñ ne apne qarīne badal liye lekin
hamāre taur vahī haiñ nahīñ badalte haiñ
ab e'tibār pe jī chāhtā to hai lekin
purāne ḳhauf diloñ se kahāñ nikalte haiñ
laga ho dil to KHayalat kab badalte hain
ye inqalab to ek be-dili mein palte hain
nikal chuke hain bahut dur qafile wale
hamein KHabar nahin hum kis ke sath chalte hain
kabhi hamein bhi milao to aise logon se
ki jin ki aankh mein ab tak charagh jalte hain
ye raat aisi hawaen kahan se lati hai
ki KHwab phulte hain aur zaKHm phalte hain
ruton ne apne qarine badal liye lekin
hamare taur wahi hain nahin badalte hain
ab e'tibar pe ji chahta to hai lekin
purane KHauf dilon se kahan nikalte hain
