inhein dar-e-khvaab-gaah se kis liye haTaayaa — Khalid Iqbal Yasir

rahti hai saath saath koi khush-gavaar yaad
tujh se bichhaD ke teri rifaaqat gai nahin

bhuul jaanaa thaa jise sabt hai dil par mere
yaad rakhnaa thaa jise us ko bhulaa baiThaa huun

haan ye mumkin hai magar itnaa zaruri bhi nahin
jo koi pyaar mein haaraa vahi fankaar huaa

lagtaa hai zinda rahne ki hasrat gai nahin
mar ke bhi saans lene ki aadat gai nahin

jaisi nigaah thi tiri vaisaa fusun huaa
jo kuchh tire khayaal mein thaa jun-kaa-tun huaa

zamaane ke darbaar mein dast-basta huaa hai
ye dil us pe maail magar rafta rafta huaa hai

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

roz ik khvaab-e-musalsal aur main
raat bhar yaadon kaa jangal aur main

hui thi khvaab mein khushbu si mahsus
tum aae khvaab ki taabir dekhi

band aankhein karun aur khvaab tumhaare dekhun
tapti garmi mein bhi vaadi ke nazaare dekhun

gham-e-maujud ghalat aur gham-e-fardaa baatil
raahat ik khvaab hai jis ki koi taabir nahin
