khwab ho khwab mein aate ho chale jate ho
did ka jam lundhate ho chale jate ho

kisi ummid pe duniya mein mujhe zinda rakho
aate ho aas bandhate ho chale jate ho

meri aankhon mein jo lasha hai mere khwabon ka
is pe rote ho rulate ho chale jate ho

qissa-e-dard kisi taur na bhule mujh ko
roz aate ho sunate ho chale jate ho

kyun meri aankhon mein har roz nae aas ke phul
dosto aa ke khilate ho chale jate ho

mere zakhmon ke liye lao nan marham bhi kabhi
in pe bas jashn manate ho chale jate ho

rah bhule na koi dasht ka rahi 'tariq'
is liye dip jalate ho chale jate ho
