ham yunhi khvaab bunte rahte hain — Ibn

aankhon mein khvaab chubhan sone nahin deti hai
ek muddat se hamein tu ne jagaa rakkhaa hai

main khushi mein ghir ke udaas huun
koi aur is kaa sabab nahin

aise khud ko aziyyatein denaa
tu ne 'farrukh' kahaan se sikhaa hai

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

afsos umr kaT gai ranj-o-malaal mein
dekhaa na khvaab mein bhi jo kuchh thaa khayaal mein

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

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

yaad mein khvaab mein tasavvur mein
aa ki aane ke hain hazaar tariq

ummidon se parda rakkhaa khushiyon se mahrum rahin
khvaab maraa to chaalis din tak sog manaayaa aankhon ne
