Dil ki bisaat kyaa thii nigaah-e-jamaal meN
ek aaiinaa thaa TuuT gayaa dekh bhaal meN

sabr aa hii jaaye gar basar ho ek haal meN
imkaaN ek aur zulm hai qaid-e-muhaal meN

aazurda huuN is qadar saraab-e-Khayaal se
jii chaahtaa hai tum bhii na aao Khayaal meN

duniaa hai Khwaab, haasil-e-duniaa Khayaal hai
insaan Khwaab dekh rahaa hai Khayaal meN

umr-e-do-rozaa vaaqaii Khwab-o-Khayaal thii
kuchh Khwaab meN guzar gaii, kuchh Khayaal meN
