ai mujhe khvaab dikhaate hue logo sun lo — Nadeem Bhabha

kuchh phulon ki khaatir bhi kuchh phulon kaa
sab se achchhaa rang churaanaa paDtaa hai

charaagh dafn kiye the 'nadim' qabron mein
zamin se chaand numudaar ho gae saahib

phir mujhe khud bhi khabar ho na saki main huun kahaan
aakhiri baar tire gaanv mein dekhaa gayaa huun

ye tiri guftugu kaa lamha hai
is ghaDi hai miraa khudaa mire paas

khudaa ki tarah koi aadmi bhi hai shaayad
nazar jo aataa nahin aas-paas ho kar bhi

tum ne jab us ki baat ki tum pe bhi pyaar aa gayaa
chumaa nahin tumhein miyaan garche maqaam thaa zarur

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

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

andheri shab kaa ye khvaab-manzar mujhe ujaalon se bhar rahaa hai
to raat itni tavil kar de ki taa-qayaamat sahar na aae

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

khvaab Thahre the to aankhein bhigne se bach gaiin
varna chehre par to gham ki baarishon kaa aks hai
