dil ke sahra mein zamane se bhatakte hue khwab
khushk aankhon se tapak aae jhijhakte hue khwab

sham se pahle chali aati hain ninden ab to
jab se basne lage aankhon mein mahakte hue khwab

gham mein dubi hui raaton ko ujala dene
hum ne palkon pe sajae hain dahakte hue khwab

bediyan dal ke jakda hai khushi ne jab se
gham ki dahliz pe aa pahunche sarakte hue khwab

zakhm 'afroz' chamak uthte hain jugnu ki tarah
dard jab dil ka bhadakte hain sisakte hue khwab
