    ġhalat ḳhvāboñ ke havāle karte hue

    ḳhud ḳhvāb ho jaa.eñ

    ye aur baat ki

    pur-asrār ġhaib meñ

    ḳhvāhish agar zamīn par reñgne vaalī

    chyūñTī bhī ho to

    vo hāthī ko halāk kar saktī hai

    ek chyūñTī hāthī ko

    is liye halāk kar detī hai ki

    use is ke sar tak

    pahanñe raah gyaan

    aadmī se kahīñ zyāda hotā hai

    afsos ki chyūñTī se zyāda

    gyaan vaalā aadmī to

    afsos pahāḌ chaḌhā.ī chaḌhne

    aur ūñchī choTiyoñ ko

    sar karne vāloñ meñ se

    koī ek bhī aisā nahīñ huā

    jo pahle zindagī naam ke hāthī ke sarkī

    chaḌhā.ī chaḌhtā is ke sar ko

    sar kar chukā hotā

    aadmī ne ghar banāyā

    is meñ rahne ke liye

    magar vo us meñ kabhī rahā is liye nahīñ ki

    rū-e-zamīn par

    kisī bhī ghar bātin nahīñ ban sakā

    ek puurī duniyā zāhir to

    hamārī nazar meñ rakh diyā gayā

    magar bātin se banī huī

    koī duniyā to banī nahīñ

    to ham kyā dekhte

    dikhāne vāloñ se ham kyā kahte

    is se kyā kahte

    jis ke lahje meñ shaam hone se pahle

    din raushnī

    koī bisāt to rahī hogī

    palaT ke kuchh dekhne adā bhī

    nahīñ ma.alūm thī

    varna koī kah saktā hai ki

    use asbāb se bharī huī duniyā se

    kuchh mayassar aayā

    nahīñ kuchh bhī to nahīñ

    jo duniyā

    asbāb se bharī huī dikhā.ī ga.ī

    vo ḳhud apnī jagah thī bhī nahīñ

    aur is koī bhī shai

    apnī jagah thī bhī nahīñ

    us ke lahje mein sham ho rahi thi

    aur raste raston ko chhoDte hue

    kisi aur raste par ja rahe the

    us ka badan KHud se alag hone ke liye

    apne hi badan se puchh raha tha

    kunware rahne ki tapasya akarat gai

    kisi chahne wale ko

    us ne ek bosa bhi nahin diya

    us ki miTTi ne kisi aur miTTi ko chhua hi nahin

    shariat ki aamariyyat ko

    KHud us ne hi dawat di thi

    warna KHuda se kisi ghalat ko

    ghalat chhune ki baat to kabhi hui hi nahin thi

    aur koi hum se bhul ke

    hamari aaKHiri KHwahish bhi na puchhe

    aisa to kabhi hua hi nahin

    Dubte hue jahaz mein bhagne wale

    aaKHiri chuhe ko bhi to

    kisi ne bhi nahin dekha

    siwae us ke ki

    Dubone wale pani ne

    KHud ko dekha

    ya Dubne wale ko dekha

    mohabbat jin rangon se

    bani hui kahani thi

    us ke kisi bhi kirdar ko

    is ne kabhi bhule se bhi pas na aane diya

    ek ThanDi jamid bisat par dauDti hui

    mayusi ko

    parinda banne ki KHwahish to zarur rahi hogi

    magar kya koi ye dekh sakta hai ki

    kisi botal se kag arne ke manzar mein

    botal ke baatin par kya guzarti hai

    kisi ghalat munh se nikle hue lafz se

    zindagi ki aab-o-hawa par kya guzarti hai

    duniya mein hone wale kisi bhi zulm ne

    bas misal hi to qaem ki

    ek tariKH hi to banai

    hath mein uThae hue ek patthar se

    an-ginat hathiyaron tak

    darmiyan mein

    zamane to an-ginat rahe honge

    ya tariKH to ek hi thi

    kisi ghalat ko sahi mein badalne ki KHwahish

    duniya ka nizam badal sakti to

    aaj tak hum ghalat KHwab

    na dekh rahe hote

    phir ye azab kya hai ki

    hum ek puri zindagi

    ghalat KHwabon ke hawale karte hue

    KHud KHwab ho jaen

    ye aur baat ki

    pur-asrar ghaib mein

    yaqin na rakhne wale ko bhi

    kisi bhi ghaib se

    kuchh pane ya madad lene ki

    KHwahish to hoti hai

    aur KHwahish ka kya hai

    KHwahish agar zamin par rengne wali

    chyunTi bhi ho to

    wo hathi ko halak kar sakti hai

    ek chyunTi hathi ko

    is liye halak kar deti hai ki

    use is ke sar tak

    pahanne ki rah ka gyan

    aadmi se kahin zyaada hota hai

    afsos ki chyunTi se zyaada

    gyan wala aadmi to

    zamin par paida hi nahin hua

    afsos pahaD ki chaDhai chaDhne

    aur unchi choTiyon ko

    sar karne walon mein se

    koi ek bhi aisa nahin hua

    jo pahle zindagi nam ke hathi ke sarki

    chaDhai chaDhta ya is ke sar ko

    sar kar chuka hota

    aadmi ne ghar banaya

    is mein rahne ke liye

    magar wo us mein kabhi raha is liye nahin ki

    ru-e-zamin par

    kisi bhi ghar ka baatin nahin ban saka

    ek puri duniya ka zahir to

    hamari nazar mein rakh diya gaya

    magar baatin se bani hui

    koi duniya to bani hi nahin

    to hum kya dekhte

    ya dikhane walon se hum kya kahte

    ya is se kya kahte

    jis ke lahje mein sham hone se pahle

    din ki raushni ki

    koi bisat to rahi hogi

    palaT ke kuchh dekhne ki ada bhi

    nahin malum thi

    warna koi kah sakta hai ki

    use asbab se bhari hui duniya se

    kuchh mayassar aaya

    nahin kuchh bhi to nahin

    ya jo duniya

    asbab se bhari hui dikhai gai

    wo KHud apni jagah thi bhi ya nahin

    aur is ki koi bhi shai

    apni jagah thi bhi ya nahin
