baar-haa tu ne khvaab dikhlaae — Akram Naqqash

jaise paani pe naqsh ho koi
raunaqein sab adam-sabaat rahin

ye kaun si jagah hai ye basti hai kaun si
koi bhi is jahaan mein tere sivaa nahin

jiyungaa main tiri saanson mein jab tak
khud apni saans mein zinda rahungaa

kuchh to inaayatein hain mire kaarsaaz ki
aur kuchh mire mizaaj ne tanhaa kiyaa mujhe

ishq ik aisi haveli hai ki jis se baahar
koi darvaaza khule aur na daricha nikle

hazaar kaarvaan yuun to hain mere saath magar
jo mere naam hai vo qaafila kab aaegaa

mere khvaabon ke jharokon ko sajaate rahiye
na sahi vasl magar yaad to aate rahiye

hasin khvaab ko sachchaa samajh rahaa hai koi
faqat gumaan ko duniyaa samajh rahaa hai koi

balaa-e-jaan thi jo bazm-e-tamaashaa chhoD di main ne
khushaa ai zindagi khvaabon ki duniyaa chhoD di main ne

dard jab zabt ki har had se guzar jaataa hai
khvaab tanhaai ki aaghosh mein so jaate hain

shab-e-jamaal salaamat rahein tire pari-zaad
jinhein main khvaab sunaataa huun raqs kartaa huun

khvaab mere churaa liye us ne
jis ko main ne udhaar diin aankhein
