Aao k koi Khwaab buneiN, kal ke vaaste
varnaa ye raat, aaj ke sangeen daur ki
Das legi jaan-o-dil ko kuchh aise k jaan-o-dil
taa-umr phir na koi haseeN Khwaab bun sakeiN

go hamse bhaagti rahii ye tez-gaam umr
KhwaaboN ke aasre pe kaTii hai tamaam umr

zulfoN ke Khwaab, hoNToN ke Khwaab, aur badan ke Khwaab
mairaaj-e-fan ke Khwaab, kamaal-e-suKhan ke Khwaab
tahzeeb-e-zindagii ke, faroGh-e-watan ke Khwaab
zindaa ke Khwaab, koocha-e-daar-o-rasan ke Khwaab

ye Khwaab hii to apni jawaanii ke paas the
ye Khwaab hii to apne amal ki asaas the
ye Khwaab mar gaye haiN to berang hai hayaat
yuuN hai ki jaise dast-e-tah-e-sang hai hayaat

aao k koi Khwaab buneiN kal ke vaaste
varnaa ye raat aaj ke sangeen daur kii
Das legi jaan-o-dil ko kuchh aise k jaan-o-dil
taa-umr phir na koii haseeN Khwaab bun sakeiN
