kis ko KHabar ye hasti kya hai kitni haqiqat kitna KHwab

kis ko ḳhabar ye hastī kyā hai kitnī haqīqat kitnā ḳhvāb

dasht-e-fanā meñ hairāñ haiñ sab le kar apnā apnā ḳhvāb

lipTī huī thī ham se kaisī ḳhushbū us kī yādoñ kī

aañkh khulī tab jaanā ham ne dekhā thā ik pyārā ḳhvāb

us ke tasavvur meñ qurbat ke dhoke kitne khaa.e haiñ

paas jo aa.e aisā lage hai aadhī haqīqat puurā ḳhvāb

kho kar us ko yuuñ lagtā hai jaise sab kuchh haar ga.e

ashkoñ se ham joḌ rahe haiñ apnā bikhrā bikhrā ḳhvāb

dukh to yahī hai in bātoñ se tum kitne anjān rahe

dil meñ basā kar tum ko ham ne dekhā kaisā kaisā ḳhvāb

dekh ke is ko jaane aisī 'sayyad' jī kyā baat huī

āñkhoñ kī dahlīz pe ham ne pyaar bharā ik rakkhā ḳhvāb

kis ko KHabar ye hasti kya hai kitni haqiqat kitna KHwab

dasht-e-fana mein hairan hain sab le kar apna apna KHwab

lipTi hui thi hum se kaisi KHushbu us ki yaadon ki

aankh khuli tab jaana hum ne dekha tha ek pyara KHwab

us ke tasawwur mein qurbat ke dhoke kitne khae hain

pas jo aae aisa lage hai aadhi haqiqat pura KHwab

kho kar us ko yun lagta hai jaise sab kuchh haar gae

ashkon se hum joD rahe hain apna bikhra bikhra KHwab

dukh to yahi hai in baaton se tum kitne anjaan rahe

dil mein basa kar tum ko hum ne dekha kaisa kaisa KHwab

dekh ke is ko jaane aisi 'sayyad' ji kya baat hui

aankhon ki dahliz pe hum ne pyar bhara ek rakkha KHwab
