zindagi ki raushni ke istiare KHwab hain
zindagī kī raushnī ke isti.āre ḳhvāb haiñ
dekhiye ta.abīr kyā ho kitne pyāre ḳhvāb haiñ
buḳhl hai karte nahīñ ḳhvāboñ kī ḳhushiyoñ meñ sharīk
aao ham dete haiñ tum ko jo hamāre ḳhvāb haiñ
jin kī āñkheñ thī haqīqat ke tajassus meñ magan
un kā dāmāñ dekhiye saare ke saare ḳhvāb haiñ
jāgte meñ so rahā thā un ke jazboñ kā shu.ūr
niiñd us kī hai magar us meñ hamāre ḳhvāb haiñ
be-sukūñ lamhoñ meñ sonā hai girāñ ehsās kā
qarz hai ta.abīr un kī jo udhāre ḳhvāb haiñ
so gayā thā vaqt ke neze pe sar rakkhe hue
maiñ ne ye kaisī bulandī se utāre ḳhvāb haiñ
ham haqīqat meñ guzar jā.eñge ḳhvāboñ kī tarah
raushnī, zulmat, mah-o-ḳhurshīd saare ḳhvāb haiñ
zindagi ki raushni ke istiare KHwab hain
dekhiye tabir kya ho kitne pyare KHwab hain
buKHl hai karte nahin KHwabon ki KHushiyon mein sharik
aao hum dete hain tum ko jo hamare KHwab hain
jin ki aankhen thi haqiqat ke tajassus mein magan
un ka daman dekhiye sare ke sare KHwab hain
jagte mein so raha tha un ke jazbon ka shuur
nind us ki hai magar us mein hamare KHwab hain
be-sukun lamhon mein sona hai giran ehsas ka
qarz hai tabir un ki jo udhaare KHwab hain
so gaya tha waqt ke neze pe sar rakkhe hue
main ne ye kaisi bulandi se utare KHwab hain
hum haqiqat mein guzar jaenge KHwabon ki tarah
raushni, zulmat, mah-o-KHurshid sare KHwab hain
