Shabnam Rumani

zindagi khvab dekhti hai magar
zindagi zindagi hai khvab nahin

mujhe ye zo.am ki main husn ka musavvir huun
unhen ye naaz ki tasvir to hamari hai

teri tabish se raushan hain gul bhi aur virane bhi
kya tu bhi is hansti-gati duniya ka mazdur hai chand?

apni majburi ko ham divar-o-dar kahne lage
qaid ka saman kiya aur us ko ghar kahne lage

apni majburi ko ham divaar-o-dar kahne lage
qaid kaa saamaan kiyaa aur us ko ghar kahne lage

zindagi khvaab dekhti hai magar
zindagi zindagi hai khvaab nahin

teri taabish se raushan hain gul bhi aur viraane bhi
kyaa tu bhi is hansti-gaati duniyaa kaa mazdur hai chaand?

mujhe ye zoam ki main husn kaa musavvir huun
unhein ye naaz ki tasvir to hamaari hai
