Khwaab kho jatay hain

Woh ajeeb mousam tha 

Hum ne koray kaaghaz par 

Apne khwaab likhay thay 

Hum ne khwaab dekhay thay 

Ankahi kahani ky 

Haroof sab dua se thay 

Dard ku bulawey thay 

Dil ki hukam'rani thi 

Door ufaq kinaron tak

Raah guizaar hamari thi 

Anginat zamano main 

Saans le rahay thay hum 

Ajnabi jazeeron main 

Naqsh paa hamaray thay 

Aankh main thein tehreerain 

Be'pannah jalwon ki 

Chandani ky lehjay ne 

Hum se guftagoo ki thi 

Zindagi ka her manzar 

Lamha lamha jaga tha 

Pehli baar hi hum ne 

Zindagi ko dekha tha 

Roz-o-shab ky meley main 

Khwaab hi to sacha tha 

Fasalon ky jungle main 

Khwaab kho bhi jatay hain
