hum hain sar-ta-ba-pa tamanna
kaisi ummid kya tamanna

ho kitni hi khush-gawar phir bhi
hai dil ke liye bala tamanna

dete ho payam-e-arzu tum
jab tark main kar chuka tamanna

duniya ko fareb de rahi hai
jalwa hai sarab ka tamanna

apni manzil pe hum na pahunche
jab tak rahi rahnuma tamanna

mabain-e-nigah-o-jalwa-e-husn
hai ek hijab sa tamanna

uljha raha aarzu mein ghafil
kyun khud hi na ban gaya tamanna

aawaz to do kise pukarun
tum ho mere dil mein ya tamanna

'simab' maal-e-shauq malum
am-lil-insan-e-ma-tamanna
