ek ḳhvāhish hai jo shāyad umr bhar puurī na ho

ek sapne se hamesha pyaar karnā hai mujhe

ek KHwahish hai jo shayad umr bhar puri na ho

ek sapne se hamesha pyar karna hai mujhe

is añdhere meñ charāġh-e-ḳhvāb kī ḳhvāhish nahīñ

ye bhī kyā kam hai ki thoḌī der so jaatā huuñ maiñ

is andhere mein charagh-e-KHwab ki KHwahish nahin

ye bhi kya kam hai ki thoDi der so jata hun main

rukā huuñ kis ke vahm meñ mire gumān meñ nahīñ

charāġh jal rahā hai aur koī makān meñ nahīñ

ruka hun kis ke wahm mein mere guman mein nahin

charagh jal raha hai aur koi makan mein nahin

ham musāfir haiñ gard-e-safar haiñ magar ai shab-e-hijr ham koī bachche nahīñ

jo abhī āñ.suoñ meñ nahā kar ga.e aur abhī muskurāte palaT ā.eñge

hum musafir hain gard-e-safar hain magar ai shab-e-hijr hum koi bachche nahin

jo abhi aansuon mein naha kar gae aur abhi muskuraate palaT aaenge

agar hai insān kā muqaddar ḳhud apnī miTTī kā rizq honā

to phir zamīñ par ye āsmāñ kā vajūd kis qahr ke liye hai

agar hai insan ka muqaddar KHud apni miTTi ka rizq hona

to phir zamin par ye aasman ka wajud kis qahr ke liye hai
