khvab marte nahin

khvab dil hain na ankhen na sansen k jo

reza-reza hue to bikhar jayenge

jism ki maut se ye bhi mar jayenge

khvab marte nahin

khvab to raushani hain, nava hain, hava hain

jo kale paharon se rukte nahin

zulm k dozakhon se bhi phukate nahin

raushani aur nava aur hava k alam

maqtalon main pahunch kar bhi jhukate nahin

khvab to harf hain

khvab to nur hain

khvab to suqrat hain

khvab mansur hain
