bah raha tha ek dariya KHwab mein
bah rahā thā ek dariyā ḳhvāb meñ
rah gayā maiñ phir bhī tishna ḳhvāb meñ
jī rahā huuñ aur duniyā meñ magar
dekhtā huuñ aur duniyā ḳhvāb meñ
is zamīñ par tū nazar aatā nahīñ
bas gayā hai jo sarāpā ḳhvāb meñ
roz aatā hai mirā ġham bāñTne
āsmāñ se ik sitāra ḳhvāb meñ
muddatoñ se dil hai us kā muntazir
koī va.ada kar gayā thā ḳhvāb meñ
kyā yaqīñ aa jā.egā us shaḳhs ko
us kī bābat jo bhī dekhā ḳhvāb meñ
ek bastī hai jahāñ ḳhush haiñ sabhī
dekh letā huuñ maiñ kyā kyā ḳhvāb meñ
asl duniyā meñ tamāshe kam haiñ kyā
kyuuñ nazar aa.e tamāsha ḳhvāb meñ
khol kar āñkheñ pashemāñ huuñ bahut
kho gayā jo kuchh milā thā ḳhvāb meñ
kyā huā hai mujh ko 'ālam' in dinoñ
maiñ ġhazal kahtā nahīñ thā ḳhvāb meñ
bah raha tha ek dariya KHwab mein
rah gaya main phir bhi tishna KHwab mein
ji raha hun aur duniya mein magar
dekhta hun aur duniya KHwab mein
is zamin par tu nazar aata nahin
bas gaya hai jo sarapa KHwab mein
roz aata hai mera gham banTne
aasman se ek sitara KHwab mein
muddaton se dil hai us ka muntazir
koi wada kar gaya tha KHwab mein
kya yaqin aa jaega us shaKHs ko
us ki babat jo bhi dekha KHwab mein
ek basti hai jahan KHush hain sabhi
dekh leta hun main kya kya KHwab mein
asl duniya mein tamashe kam hain kya
kyun nazar aae tamasha KHwab mein
khol kar aankhen pasheman hun bahut
kho gaya jo kuchh mila tha KHwab mein
kya hua hai mujh ko 'alam' in dinon
main ghazal kahta nahin tha KHwab mein
