Nazm

aao

shabnam ke pani mein jhanken

hawaon ke uDte hue narm jhonkon se khelen

fazaon mein bikhre hue KHwab DhunDen

jo bachpan mein hum se

zamane ne chhine the aur ahl-e-duniya ki chhat par

bikhere the!

logon se, rahon se

apni kitabon se puchhta tha KHwabon ki duniya kahan hai?

KHuda ko pukaren

jo har shai ke parde mein parda hai dekhen

wo kis kis ki sunta hai

KHwabon mein jhanken

ki KHwabon ke andar wo basti hai jo

KHush-nasibon ki basti hai, achchhe KHuda ke iradon ki basti hai

shayad wahin

apne bachpan ke chhine gae KHwab rahte hain hum se bichhaD kar

judai ke sadmon ko sahte hain
