ek hasin khwab jo aankhon mein basa hai wo hai
mujh se tanhai mein jo bol raha hai wo hai

jab kabhi main ne padhi umr-e-guzishta ki kitab
ek saya sa jo aahat pe ruka hai wo hai

zindagi ne to kabhi kuchh na diya gham ke siwa
ishq ne mujh ko jo ek rup diya hai wo hai

meri qismat ke sitare hain usi se raushan
chand ban kar jo mere dil mein chhupa hai wo hai

main wo ek jhil ki jis ki koi manzil hi nahin
dur tak sath jo mere hi baha hai wo hai

chhod ke mujh ko sabhi laut gae aakhir-e-shab
sans ban kar jo mere dil mein ruka hai wo hai

ban ke ummid jo chamka tha wahi tha 'anjum'
aur abhi dard sa jo dil mein utha hai wo hai
