Khwaab hi to tha!

baawre mann ne dekha ek khwaab
aur khwaab mein dekha woh manzar
jahan sacha ho har dil, har insaan
na jhooti baatien, na baaton ka batangar

khwaab hi toh tha, to dekha woh jahaan
jahan maasoom ho pyaar, sachi ho wafa
na dhoka, na dhokebaaz ho kahin
jahan ho har shaqs, kabil-e-jafa

par khwab hi to tha, kaise na tootta
aakhir dil hi to tha , kaise na tootta

ab aankh khuli hai, to nam hai
ab inn ankhon mein khwab bhi to kam hai
phir bhi ye baawra mann meri baat na maanega
aise hi namumkin khwabon ke peeche bhagega

baawra mann dekhne chala ek sapna
baawra mann dekhne chala ek sapna

Gum ne mujhe aaina dikha diya

Iss gum ne mujhe aaina dikha diya

varna andhe the hum bhi

kisi bewafa ke pyaar mein

shukr hai waqt rehte naqab hata diya

hass raha tha koi maasoom mohabbat pe

saath nibhane ki aad mein

ae gum tu ne bacha liya

apna paraya bata diya

kiski hasi sachchi

aur kiski jhoota khwab

mujhko bata diya

aur kya hua gar dil ye toota

ye jiska ghar tha use hi gum nahin

to rona kaisa

ae gum, shukriya

tu ne jeena sikha diya

sach jhoot, apna paraya

mujhko bata diya

iss gum ne mujhe aaina dikha diya
