Hum khwabon ke beupari thay
Par is me hua nuqsan bara
Kuch bakht me dheron kalak thi
Kuch ab ke ghazab ka kal para
Hum rakh lye hen jholi me
Aur sar pe saahukar khara
Jab basti sehra sehra thi
Hum darya darya roye thay
Jab hath ki rekhaen chup theen
Aur sur sangeet me khoye thay
Tab hum ne jeevan kheti me
Kuch khawab anokhay boye thay
Jab fasal kati to kia dekha
Kuch dard ke tootay gajray thay
Kuch zakhmi khawab thay aankhon me
Kuch khaksitar se gajray thay
