din mein aane lage hain khvaab mujhe — Iftikhar Raghib

inkaar hi kar dijiye iqraar nahin to
uljhan hi mein mar jaaegaa bimaar nahin to

'raaghib' vo meri fikr mein khud ko bhi bhuul jaaein
aisi to koi baat nahin chaahtaa thaa main

ji chaahtaa hai jiinaa jazbaat ke mutaabiq
haalaat kar rahe hain haalaat ke mutaabiq

le jaae jahaan chaahe havaa ham ko uDaa kar
TuuTe hue patton ki hikaayat hi alag hai

ek mausam ki kasak hai dil mein dafn
miThaa miThaa dard saa hai mustaqil

paDhtaa rahtaa huun aap kaa chehra
achchhi lagti hai ye kitaab mujhe

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

ye raat aisi havaaein kahaan se laati hai
ki khvaab phulte hain aur zakhm phalte hain

vo mere khvaab le ke sirhaane khaDaa rahaa
main so rahi thi us ne jagaayaa nahin mujhe

main ek ret kaa paikar thaa aur bikhar bhi gayaa
ajab thaa khvaab ki main khvaab hi mein Dar bhi gayaa

kyuun javaani ki mujhe yaad aai
main ne ik khvaab saa dekhaa kyaa thaa
