Tum ne kitne sapne dekhe, maiN ne kitne giit bune,
is duniyaa ke shor meN lekin dil kii dhaRkan kaun sune,
sargam kii aavaaz pe sar dhunne vaale laakhoN paaye,
naGhmoN kii khiltii kaliyaaN chun-ne vaale laakhoN paaye,
raakh hu’aa dil jin meN jal kar vo angaare kaun chune,
tum ne kitne sapne dekhe, maiN ne kitne giit sune,
armaanoN ke suune ghar meN har aahaT be-gaanii niklii,
dil ne jab nazdiik se dekhaa, har suurat anjaanii niklii,
bojhal ghaRiyaaN ginte ginte sadme ho gaye laakh gune,
tum ne kitne sapne dekhe, maiN ne kitne giit sune
