ek bujhāo ek jalāo ḳhvāb kā kyā hai
āñkhoñ meñ rakh kar so jaao ḳhvāb kā kyā hai

pāñv-tale hai rauñd ke guzro kuchal ke dekho
pīchhe jaao aage aao ḳhvāb kā kyā hai

shelf pe ulTā kar ke rakh do aur bisrā do
gul-dānoñ meñ phuul sajāo ḳhvāb kā kyā hai

ḳhvāb kā kyā hai raat ke naqsh-o-nigār banāo
raat ke naqsh-o-nigār banāo ḳhvāb kā kyā hai

niiñd milī hai guḌ se mīThī shahd se shīrīñ
gaao nācho nācho gaao ḳhvāb kā kyā hai

lā-yānī hai sab lā-yānī ya.anī ya.anī
aur kahānī likh kar laao ḳhvāb kā kyā hai

ek kabāḌī galiyoñ āvāz lagā.e
raakh ḳharīdo aag ke bhaav ḳhvāb kā kyā hai

ek bujhao ek jalao KHwab ka kya hai
aankhon mein rakh kar so jao KHwab ka kya hai

panw-tale hai raund ke guzro kuchal ke dekho
pichhe jao aage aao KHwab ka kya hai

shelf pe ulTa kar ke rakh do aur bisra do
gul-danon mein phul sajao KHwab ka kya hai

KHwab ka kya hai raat ke naqsh-o-nigar banao
raat ke naqsh-o-nigar banao KHwab ka kya hai

nind mili hai guD se miThi shahd se shirin
gao nacho nacho gao KHwab ka kya hai

la-yani hai sab la-yani yani yani
aur kahani likh kar lao KHwab ka kya hai

ek kabaDi galiyon aawaz lagae
rakh KHarido aag ke bhaw KHwab ka kya hai
