main ne khwabon ke hasin jal bune
chandni shab ki bahaaron mein kabhi

subh ke phaile chanaron mein kabhi
din ke hangamon ke har pahlu mein

sham ke badhte hue jadu mein
main ne jab chaha nae phul chune

main ne khwabon ke hasin jal bune
apne har khwab mein paya tum ko

mand karte hue taron ke diye
gungunate hue chashmon ko liye

muskuraate hue pas aate hue
dam-e-aghosh mein rah jate hue

main ne yun apna banaya tum ko
apne har khwab mein paya tum ko

ek giran lamhe ki rau mein ek din
tum ko afsana sunaya apna

raaz koi na chhupaya apna
apne khwabon ki dikhai duniya

aarzuon se sajai duniya
husn-e-gul-rang ki zau mein ek din

ek giran lamhe ki rau mein ek din
tum ne kya samjha na jaana barson

main fusun-saz bahanon mein raha
dhyan ke lakhon thikanon mein raha

har kathin rah ko aasan dekha
hasraton ko bhi ghazal-khwan dekha

yaad aaya wo zamana barson
tum ne kya samjha na jaana barson

ab na wo khwab na wo baaten hain
tum bhi pahle se nahin ho shayad

apni fitrat se qarin ho shayad
waqt ne manzilen ki hain kya tai

mujh se begana hui hai har shai
har taraf phaili siyah raaten hain

ab na wo khwab na wo baaten hain
