ek khvaab-o-khayaal hai duniyaa — Figar Unnavi

maayus dilon ko ab chheDo bhi to kyaa haasil
TuuTe hue paimaane fariyaad nahin karte

fazaa kaa tang honaa fitrat-e-aazaad se puchho
par-e-parvaaz hi kyaa jo qafas ko aashiyaan samjhe

dil hai miraa rangini-e-aaghaaz pe maail
nazron mein abhi jaam hai anjaam nahin hai

ik teraa aasraa hai faqat ai khayaal-e-dost
sab bujh gae charaagh shab-e-intizaar mein

un pe qurbaan har khushi kar di
zindagi nazr-e-zindagi kar di

partav-e-husn se zarre bhi bane aaine
kitne jalve kiye arzaan tiri raanaai ne

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

hamaaraa ishq ravaan hai rukaavaTon mein 'zafar'
ye khvaab hai kisi divaar se nahin ruktaa

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

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

ik yaqin-parvar gumaan aur ik hayaat-aamez khvaab
jaise koi aaegaa aur uljhanein le jaaegaa

ye san kar meri nindein uD gai hain
koi meraa bhi sapnaa dekhtaa hai
