zindagi bhar jinhon ne dekhe KHwab

zindagī bhar jinhoñ ne dekhe ḳhvāb

un ko baḳhshe ga.e haiñ phir se ḳhvāb

din añdherā dikhā.ī detā hai

raat dekhe the jagmagāte ḳhvāb

us ne aise bhulā diyā hai mujhe

yaad rahte nahīñ haiñ jaise ḳhvāb

raat kī baḳhshisheñ to thiiñ mujh par

roz-e-raushan ne bhī dikhā.e ḳhvāb

jin kī ta.abīr hī nahīñ koī

maiñ ne dekhe haiñ aksar aise ḳhvāb

dil kā har zaḳhm ho gayā taaza

aa ga.e yaad bhūle-bisre ḳhvāb

ishq kī ye alāmateñ to nahīñ

dil hai bechain aañkh hai be-ḳhvāb

mashġhala hai mirā ye ai 'ābid'

dekhnā nit-na.e sunahre ḳhvāb

zindagi bhar jinhon ne dekhe KHwab

un ko baKHshe gae hain phir se KHwab

din andhera dikhai deta hai

raat dekhe the jagmagate KHwab

us ne aise bhula diya hai mujhe

yaad rahte nahin hain jaise KHwab

raat ki baKHshishen to thin mujh par

roz-e-raushan ne bhi dikhae KHwab

jin ki tabir hi nahin koi

main ne dekhe hain aksar aise KHwab

dil ka har zaKHm ho gaya taza

aa gae yaad bhule-bisre KHwab

ishq ki ye alamaten to nahin

dil hai bechain aankh hai be-KHwab

mashghala hai mera ye ai 'abid'

dekhna nit-nae sunahre KHwab
