Khuwabon Ka Bharam

Apny bistr pèh boht dair sè main nèèm draz,

Sochti thi k wo is waqt kahan pèh hoga,

Main yahan hoon mgr us koocha-E-rang-O-bu mèn,

Roz ki trha sè wo aaj b aaya hoga,

Or jab us nè wahan mujh ko nah paya hoga?

Ap ko ilm hai, wo aj nahi aai hai

Mèri hr dost sè usnè pocha hoga

Kion nahi aai wo? Kia bat hoi hai aakhir,

Khud sè is bat pèh so bar wo uljha hoga,

Kal wo aayè gi to main us sè nahi bolonga,

Ap hi ap kai bar wo rootha hoga,

Wo nahi hai to bulandi ka safr kitna kathan,

Sèèrhiyan chartay huvy us nè yè socha hoga,

Rahdari mèn haray laan mèn phoolon k Qarèèb,

Us nè hr simt mujhy aa k dhoonda hoga,

Naam bhooly sè jo mèra kahèèn aaya hoga,

Gair mèhsoos trèèqay sè wo chonka hoga,

Ek jumly ko kai bar sunaya hoga,

Bat krty huvy kai bar wo bhoola hoga,

Yè jo larrki nai aai hai, kahèèn wo to nahi?

Us nè hr chèhra yahi soch k dèkha hoga,

Jan-E-mèhfil hai mgr aaj faqt mèry bagair,

Haayè kis darja wohi bazm mèn tanha hoga,

Kabhi sanaton sè wèhshat jo hoi hogi usy,

Us nè Bèsaakhta phir mujh ko pukara hoga,

Chalty chalty koi maanoos si aahat pa kr,

Doston ko b kisi uzar sè roka Hoga,

Yad kr k mujhy num ho gai hongi palkèn,

"Ankh mèn parr gaya kuch" kèh k yè tala hoga,

Aur ghabra kr kitabon mèn jo li hogi Panah,

Hr sitr mèn mèra chèhra ubhr aaya hoga,

Jb mili hogi usy mèri alaalat ki khabr,

Us nè aahista sè dèèwar ko thama hoga,

soch kr yè k bèhal jaè prèshan-E-dil,

Yonhi bè waja kisi shaks ko roka hoga!

Itfaaqan mujhy us sham mèri dost mili,

Mainè pocha suno! Aayè thay wo? Kaisy thay?

Mujh ko pocha tha? Mujhy dhoonda tha chaaron jaanib,

us nè ik lamhy ko dèkha mujhy aur phir hans di,

Us hansi mèn to wo talkhi thi k us sè aagay,

Kia kaha us nè mujhy yad nahi hai lèkin,

Itna maaloom hai khwabon ka bharm toot gaya.
