main ek hasin khwab dekhta hun
main dekhta hun

wo kisht-e-viran
ki salha-sal se

jo abr ko bhi taras rahi thi
wo kisht-e-viran

ki jis ke lab khushk ho chuke the
jo abr-e-naisan ki muntazar thi

jo kitni sadiyon se
baad-o-baran ki muntazir thi

main dekhta hun
us apni maghmum kisht-e-viran pe

kuchh ghata nahin
jo aaj lahra ke chha gai hain

ye sard hawa ke jhonke
na ruk sake jo kisi ke roke

zara tamazat jo kam hui hai
hayat kuchh mohtaram hui hai

main ek hasin khwab dekhta hun
main dekhta hun

ki jaise shab ki siyah chadar
simat rahi hai

wo tirgi
hum jise muqaddar samajh chuke the

wo chhat rahi hai
main dekhta hun

ki subh-e-farda
hazar ranaiyan jilau mein

liye muskura rahi hai
main dekhta hun

jabin ufuq ki jo nur-e-farda se hai munawwar
sahar ka paigham de rahi hai

jo raushni ka
jo zindagi ka

har ek ko inam de rahi hai
