Jo meri aankhon se khuwab dekho
To ek shab bhi na so sako ge
Ke laakh chaho na hans sako ge
Hazar chaho na ro sako ge
Ke khuwab kiya hain azaab hain yeh
Mere dukhon ki kitaab hain yeh
Rifaaqaten in mai chot’ti hain
Mohabbaten in mai roothti hain
Panapti hain in mai wehshaten si
Azeeayaten in mai phoot’ti hain
Inhi ke dar se khizaan hain jazbe
Inhi se shaakhen si toot’ti hain
Ghamon ki bandish hain khuwab mere
Dukhon ki barish hain khuwab mere
Ubal raha hai dukhon ka laawa
Raheen-e-aatish hain khuwab mere
Khayal saare jhulas gaye hain
Sulagti khuwahish hain khuwab mere
Ukharti saansen hain zindagi ki
Lahoo ki saazish hain khuwab mere
Jo meri aankhon se khuwab dekho
To ek shab bhi na so sako ge
(Wasi shah)
