khwab ek parinda hai
aankh ke qafas mein ye

jab talak muqayyad hai
aks ban ke zinda hai

khwab ek parinda hai
khwab ek parinda hai

zard mausamon mein bhi
khush-gawar yaadon ko

taza-kar rakhta hai
aane wale mausam ke

git gungunata hai
shakh shakh par mahke

phul chun ke lata hai
aur phir hawa ke dosh

khushbuon ka sathi hai
khwab ek parinda hai

khwab ek parinda hai
zist ke samundar mein

khwahishen jazira hain
aur is jazire mein

khauf ka andhera hai
aur is andhere mein

khwab sa parinda hai
subh ka sitara hai

din ka istiara hai
