duniyaa hai khvaab haasil-e-duniyaa khayaal hai — Seemab Akbarabadi

dekhte rahte hain chhup-chhup ke muraqqaa teraa
kabhi aati hai havaa bhi to chhupaa lete hain

tujhe daanista mahfil mein jo dekhaa ho to mujrim huun
nazar aakhir nazar hai be-iraada uTh gai hogi

manzil mili muraad mili muddaaa milaa
sab kuchh mujhe milaa jo tiraa naqsh-e-paa milaa

khudaa aur naakhudaa mil kar Dubo dein ye to mumkin hai
meri vajh-e-tabaahi sirf tufaan ho nahin saktaa

dekhte hi dekhte duniyaa se main uTh jaaungaa
dekhti ki dekhti rah jaaegi duniyaa mujhe

chamak jugnu ki barq-e-be-amaan maalum hoti hai
qafas mein rah ke qadr-e-aashiyaan maalum hoti hai

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

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

par katar paai jab na khvaabon ke
band hi kar diin khiDkiyaan main ne
